I recently sold my 1950 Merc custom that I have had for almost 20 years.

It is a great car, but it is time for something new and I don't desire to have a huge fleet of vehicles to look after so I let it go.
Introducing "JAWS".
My good friend Greg tagged the vehicle "JAWS. It was advertised as a 1940 Ford custom delivery, but it is not a true delivery because it does not have a rear door. It is actually a 1940 pickup with a Model "A" sedan body grafted onto it. It is too nice to be a "RAT" rod but it is certainly not a show car and features a faux patina paint job reasonably well done. I can tell there is a ton of bondo on it, but as long as it doesn't fall off I'm fine with it.
Other features are an S10 chassis with your typical 350/350 combo. The truck has a very short wheelbase and drives like a gokart. So far, I have completely rebuilt the brake system including a rear disc brake conversion, complete stainless steel exhaust system with a Corsa muffler, and built some period correct "NERF" bumpers.
I am currently working on a custom 3 deuce electronic fuel injection system for it. I will try to post some progress pictures later today.
