Part of an early
50's Mercury Private Estate Collection located in Central
California. This exquisite resto-mod, along with others
within this collection, shows a meticulous and personal
attention to every possible detail that is rarely
observed. These areas include fit, finish and
function, even to the point of clocking panel
bolts/screws/nuts fitted with nylon washers to prevent
future damage to attaching paint surfaces...
During the tedious body-off
restoration of every vehicle in this collection
(links below), the owner went to great lengths to retain
the original factory presence, body and exterior trim
levels, only at a much higher level than could have been produced
at the factory. To further elaborate, in
discussions with the Sons of the owner/restorer, every
piece of chrome, paint or finish was thoroughly reviewed
pre-install and at times sent back to the vendor to reach
his level of show quality finishes..
In a special relationship
with GM parts sources, the power-trains were tastefully
up-dated utilizing brand new "completely assembled factory
components" which includes front accessory belt systems,
AC/PS/Pumps/Etc components, intake/exhaust fuel delivery
and GM performance electronics. During this process, every
effort was taken to make sure the installation upgrades
were subtle in appearance with extensive use of matte
power-coat finishes and custom fitted under hood
components...
The chassis's and "all"
related hardware received the same level of extensive
tedious detail, all components were stripped, prepped and
treated to professional powder coating services (sometimes
multiple for perfection) and cad plating of any attaching
hardware. These items include suspension components, rear
differential housing and any access panels within the
underbody...
In closing, Spuds Garage

within this stunning collection for your digital
80+ Hi-Res Photos and 16+ minute HD video
