A couple of tidbits- 1954 Pontiac grille (new $14.75), new '51 rear quarters
($42.00), used '51 rear window and surrounding sheet metal, ($15 )

Great picture! If I recall correctly, the '54 Pontiac grille was a common swap out item for the '51 Merc - almost looked like it was meant to be. Did you ever finish the one "in progress"?
