Window frames on Chris Casny’s 1940 Mercury…
“Fine tuning those stainless quarter window frames. They started life as 3/4 square tubing, bent to desired shape, the inside was cut out to create a U channel. The pieces were then welded together and finally ground, sanded and polished. Same process for the door frames. This was a bear of a job.”

From Chris
“I’ve been procrastinating on the fender skirts. These skirts seem oddly perfect for a 40 Merc, because of the rounded spear that is repeated on the side of the hood. Let’s get this show on the road”

From John Lemoine…
“Ive posted some of these picks before of my 1940 Mercury Im working on, but some have asked I put them up since I posted the bumper picks the other day. Background is this was a car started by a friend of mine that died from cancer last year. I picked it up and have been working to finish it. I move slow, but Ive made allot of progress. I don’t have a timeline yet or a color settled on but as long as I keep moving forward with it, it makes me happy. Its a 1940 Mercury with 39 headlights. Its been chopped and converted to a 3 window. It. has had the hood modified so the sides are molded to the body. Lincoln Zephyr bumpers and grill and probably some other pieces. 46 Ford dash that I just rebuilt the gauges on also. I have a flathead for it, but will probably stick with a 350 for drivability. People that knew my T-Bird, know I drove it allot and still won at shows. All custom work has been done at Altissimo Restorations by my friends Brandon Penserini and famous customizer John Aiello. I added the pics I have, but will keep updating as I go. Front is lowered I beam and back is bagged, but traditional style, I.E. it doesn’t lay out… Hope you enjoy – Johnny”

a while back we covered the chop on a 1940 Cadillac Coupe here on the CCC… The car is now all painted and ready for assembly… and looking mighty fine in dark red.
