Iron Trap’s 1939 Mercury Project: Taking The 1939 Mercury “Jersey Devil” For Its First Test Drive!!!


Iron Trap’s 1939 Mercury Project: Taking The 1939 Mercury “Jersey Devil” For Its First Test Drive!!!

This ’39 Mercury has fought Matt and the gang every step of the way, man is it coming together now. After saving it from an old garage, where it had been all but forgotten for decades, their attempts to get it back running just kept failing. No matter what they did it would not run and finally, Matt threw in the towel and decided that another engine was in order. Since then it’s gotten new exhaust, several other parts and pieces, and is now going on its maiden voyage down the road. I love this car and think it is awesome to watch this forgotten relic come back to life.

Video Description:

The “Jersey Devil” has a great running flathead, and a brand new dual exhaust, it’s time to refresh the brakes and take it for a spin! Steve works on going through the braking system that was actually recently replaced before the car sat. New wheel cylinders, a master cylinder and some rubber hoses and the braking system is good as new. Matt works on installing some new wide whites, and killer single bar flipper caps. Once back on the ground, Matt and Steve take it around the block for its maiden voyage!! A few more small projects to wrap up and we have ourselves a new daily driver!!
