Woody Wagon, '49 Mercury: Surfboards???

[bubba57-chevy]

This was a unique detail and all it really needs are a couple of surfboards poking out the back. A friend had this woody down getting some interior work done and wanted it detailed. See for yourself. This an exceptional car on top of being very well built. It is a numbers matching 1949 Woody Wagon with all original drivetrain. Read that as numbers matching flathead V8 and overdrive transmission. It has been completely restored (frame off). The wood is outstanding mahogony and maple. '49 Mercury Woody Wagons, not as nice as this one have gone through the auctions for over $100K. I'm proud of the way the detail turned out.

Process included DACP, #7, #16x2

Thanks guys.

GB, the wood was redone completely, actually I should say replaced. A real craftsman in the detroit area completed the job. There is a clear coating of some sort on the wood, I'm not sure exactly what it is. I hit it with some #7 and some #16 and that's it. The mahogany looks wet, I was impressed.

Rocco, I used the backing plate and a couple of the pads from you on this job. Yellow on the DACP and cream on the #7 and #16. They worked great, thanks.

I see lots of 'vettes, bimmers, 'cedes and such on this site and others, I just thought this one was a little unique. Thanks for all the comments.

We've been trying to concentrate mainly on show cars and haven't broken into the "high end" street car set yet. I'll post some more of the more interesting jobs we've done.
