The Mangled Mercury Project is jamming along! And in the videos below, yes multiple, you’ll see all the the customs window frames go together on this now chopped Merc. But it isn’t like most chops where the doors are cut to match the top, and then the windows still roll up and down inside them. Nope, they are making this thing into a hard top with both the door windows AND quarter windows rolling up and down. There is a lot of cool work going on here. Check out the video below and let us know what you think.
We introduced the Mangled Mercury Project a few months ago and shared the first cuts, plans, etc. for this soon to be cooler ride. We continued with more videos in the series, and if you missed those then the link is below. Those episodes include massaging roof panels, changing the windshield height, reshaping, shaping, and more. Just cutting the top down doesn’t make the car look right, as it can be boxy and not smooth like the front of the car wants the rear to be. When chopping a Merc like this, it’s all about that sexy flow of the roof.
The Iron Trap Garage crew are never without projects, but this one is special because it feels like it has been forever since they chopped or channeled anything. But that is all about to change with the Mangled Mercury project. It’s time for this rough machine to get some love and that means cutting the top into multiple pieces in preparation for some pretty substantial styling changes. Changes that we totally approve by the way. I mean who doesn’t love a chop top on a hot rod?
