    Loved the Monarch on Brent's channel. It's a fantastic car. Gonna be a great driver for someone. The Model A is gonna be a super cool project for someone to finish. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.

    I’ve got a 49 Mercury 2 door for sale in Georgia. It’s a project I’ve had a very long time. I’ve sectioned it down over a 1985 Lincoln Town Care chassis years ago. It’s set up for a 460 and a C6 automatic. It’s in prime and not chopped. My brother and my dad were my shop buddies, but they have both recently passed away. And without them, I just don’t have the desire to finish it. So, instead of keeping it for sentimental reasons, I’m gonna sale it. If you know anyone interested, send them my way.

    That Model A is so tempting if current projects weren’t a plenty lol, but that car with a cantilever front suspension would be killer. That Merc is dam cool and I’m sure the next owner will love it!!
