That body is the one from Texas that sold at auction a few months ago. It has now got a Fronty head. Either the owner is flipping it or he realized how much work is involved.

Re: Mercury bodied speedster on FB
This is an interesting collection of parts that would take much searching to accumulate. The Mercury body by far the most difficult, 21” Buffalos, Fronty head, Whippit radiator, and that’s just what I can see from these 2 pics. 15K is steep for a pleb such as myself… but doesn’t seem too bad for the sum of the parts, if you want em!

Re: Mercury bodied speedster on FB
Looks like they added lots of good bits. Can attest to the amount of work on trying to save an original body.

Re: Mercury bodied speedster on FB
You could buy a Mercury at a higher price and find out it looks like this under the bondo. Good starting point for the guy who has always wanted a Mercury. This and a bucket of money and you could have this:

And after the bucket of money is gone one would most likely still have a bucket of magnets in the shop!
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.
