'39 Mercury Coupe with a fairly large 'chop' to the roof line in for some chassis modifications . .
Coupe is in outstanding condition and being a coupe is a very rare specimen and originates from Argentina . . .
Not too many modern updates here, anout the only new thing under the bonnet is the rather small battery . . .
Now for the chassis works. The old coupe has been lowered considerably and Hodgey is the master of notching the chassis rails to allow an extra three inches travel in this case. As can be seen, this rail is unaltered and the old rubber bum-stop is being held in place for photographic purposes . . .
This is where the magician has perfomed his stroke of mastery and the notch is finished and the chassis rail is actually stronger with other mods carried out on the inside and not in a position to be photographed. Hodgey has yet to replace the rubber rebound stop with a newer modern unit that is of a special rubber and gives the same rebound effect being only 3-4mm thick.
Just a quick pic of the interior and as can be seen there is not much out of place and is in pristine condition, although I think that the clock is still on Argentinian time?
