Just thinking out loud at this point. That merc looks like a factory job! I don't have the money to build a 40ish that would pass muster in most circles. I have a factory cowl and I could imagine a pair of fiberglass fenders. I also have a running chassis with most of the right dimensions, but alas, not a 40 ford. The build if ever started would probably be best on the hamb. Hoping to finish stripping the chassis this weekend.
