- The "Telephone Truck Green" paint looks awesome! This traditional old school custom turned out great! We found this chopped 1940 Merc at the Lake Mirror Classic in Lakeland, Florida.

That is a beautiful custom 40 Mercury conversion. With the Cadillac engine. The hydraulics system. And looks like it actually could have been built factory. The way it is. Thank you for sharing this amazing car.
Air bags, not hydros!
How anyone could do that is just mind boggling. This guy is a genius craftsman.
My thoughts exactly!
The medal work ,and fabrication that Mike has done on this car is incredible.
This mans vision is primo. What a cool build.
Nice!!! I wonder how many people have seen a green telephone truck.
Me, one.
I thought it was an Army car modded even after the title.Edit: I forgot about the green stripe they used on the white vans in the 70's.
What a beautiful car ,well done on the resto 👍👍
Just stumbled upon this YT channel. Like it so much I subscribed with notifications. Of course, been a TV fan of Dennis for many years! This Merc is top shelf. A beauty. Cheers.
Glad you like it and thanks for the sub!
Wow, very cool Merc!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Gorgeous car!
the guy spent 2 years of his life and probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to make it! It's a beaut!
Very nicely done! Can’t wait to get my 54 Chevy Belair hardtop chopped top☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
I wouldn´t necessarily call myself "a car guy" but as soon as he mentioned Matrenga Merc, it pricked my ears up and I knew which one he was talking about
That's one fine looking car!
Very nice, a lotta patience paid off there! 👍👍👍👍
Take me for a spin!
Better yet....
I love that color.
Nice video and a thumbs up.
Uh-Mazing ❕
Thanks for the video 👍
Beautiful car man
I just knew it would have that particular air cleaner
WOW.....💕👍
Beautiful Merc
Perfection kustom
Fab U Lous!!!!
Beautiful.
beautiful car
Cool! I love it.
👍
This was 1 of my car favorite t.v shows...to bad its not on anymore don't get it in Canada.but I subscribed so I can watch on youtube.
Not true! Now in it's 26th season, it airs on Motor Trend Saturday mornings at 8:30 am ET and weekday afternoons and weekend mornings on MAVTV. It also streams almost constantly on PlutoTV. But you can always catch it right here on CZcams. Thanks for watching!
@@MyClassicCarTV I'm in Ontario Canada.I don't get to watch no more.wish I could.
Bummer! Good thing there’s CZcams!🙂
Other than the squat,it looks factory.Well Done !!
I have to question the statement regarding the license plate. There was never a 1952 California license plate made. It would have been a 1951 plate with a 52 yellow metal tab bolted over the 51 on the plate.
👍👏
Amazing metal work!! If the engine is from an El Dorado, did the front wheel drive come with it?
Great question, We hope it gets answered. I would think it isn't though.
Matranga Mercury did it 70 years ago.
Hay wait... I seen this fabulous green car before as soon as you said the 8th floor hotel story... I love but I don't like re-runs...
what happened Mr. Scientist? Do a BurnOUT!!
(edit: hay wait.. maybe I haven't seen this? Carry on, Sir)
Completely new edit containing all the footage shot during the interview. So much has to be cut out to get it to fit into a TV ep, but on CZcams you can let it roll!
@@MyClassicCarTV AHA!! We were both right, lol! Thanks man, this is one I would definitely own or buy or build, it's neat!
@@MyClassicCarTV Yo, are you following the Large Hadron Collider and Webb telescope stuff? Pretty awesome... I know ur food chemist but it's all related, like making compounds is similar to how the elements get created in space
Yeah, I still follow all that stuff. I was never really a molecule-builder chemist. My undergrad research was in quantum physics and my graduate research involved analytical laser spectroscopy. I’m was more of a chemist/physicist hybrid.
@@MyClassicCarTV Oh WOW! I guess I assumed you were food chemist designing flavors, colors, vitamins and preservatives? I'm just an armchair interested observer in science, no degrees but I seen a lot of documentaries, NOVA, Popular Science magazine, etc. Quantum physics I have a firm grasp on thanks to Sagan, Degrasse Tyson, Hawkings. I was flabbergasted watching a stream the other day from the CERN facility starting back up and everyone was freaking out like it was opening a portal to the underworld on Stranger Things or whatever man, hilarious. They don't realize the Higgs-Boson "God Particle" was already proven 10 years ago and added to the table of elements right there where it was already predicted like 80 or more years ago with Bosonic theory being the blueprint for the math we used to make predictions about space creation and expansion rates and accounting for all the missing "dark" matter that even Einstein knew must of been there. I think it was NOVA had a great piece on Quantum computing where they chill the processors just above absolute zero (the conditions of space where atoms almost cease time entirely) so the thing can make multiple calculation simultaneously instead of being limited to just 1's and 0's taking turns!
it needs eyebrows to not look sleepy
jesus why cant we have cars like that today...i hate all that modern crap that looks the same...
The plate story is false.
You ruined it.
I think you're in the minority on this one. 🤔
It got circumcised
