Default Fesler 49 Merc with FS903

I know this car is not right for this site but it is still very sick, I just wanted to show you the very first set of Fesler FS903 wheels and see what you guys think. This is from the photo shoot for Super Rod Magazine. Unlike most billet companies this wheel is a true three piece and can be built to any off set with any finish in a few weeks. I just wanted to show you guys the quality of the wheels and even though it is not a pro touring car it is still sick.

Well the car actually does handle bitchen for how big it is, we cut the front of the car off and installed a new hand built frame with a Scotts Hot Rod Mustang II suspension, then we hacked everything out of the rear and did the Air Ride Technologies 4 bar system with bags all the way around and a huge Currie rear end.

Now its still like a big boat but 1000 times better then a stock lowered one. We did Huge Baer brakes on it and the engine is a Buick Nailhead supercharged and dual 650 Demon carbs on it.

It is all old school looking with new technologies in it. If you want to see the engine and interior they are on our website on the project vehcile page just click on the merc.

The wheels are 20X8.5 all the way around, we would have gone bigger but the customer already had most of the interior done and we couldnt cut into the car at all so we had to make due with the 20s.

I am glade you guys like it and I know its a sick car just wasnt sure how you guys would react to it.

This was one of my favorite cars at SEMA this year. There is something to be said about this suede machine. Flat out sinister looking. Nicely done!
