Jerry Horton's full-custom 1951 Merc. If that name sounds familiar you might

be a rock fan as Jerry Horton is the guitar player for band -- Papa Roach. Jerry began

this build with a "custom" he bought a few years back with the hopes to turn it into

the lead-sled that he had always envisioned.

Entrusting Max Fish and the team over at Bio

Kustumz with the build, they soon learned that

this wasn't a "lead-sled" at all. As they dug

deeper they realized it was much more of a fiberglass

and bondo sled in need for some serious repairs.

So Max did what he does best and began to cut, weld,

and shape entirely new panels and lines, turning this

once poorly treated Merc into the beautiful custom that you see here.

Stripped down, Reprise started to come together

with custom metal work from front to back.

The hard work began to recreate the Merc to Horton's

exact specifications, and all though Jerry Horton is

no self-proclaimed car builder, he knew exactly what

he wanted and how he wanted it to look from the start.

To give the car the look Jerry was after, Bio Kustomz

hand formed each body panel and rechopped the roof.

The front clip, which was found to be fiberglass,

was replaced with hand-built steel panels flowing

the new lines from front to rear. Bio even custom-built

the car's quarter panels to eliminate some of the bulk and give

the Merc more sharp, yet subtle lines. Max couldn't stop there,

with everything needing to match perfectly, Bio decided that

no wheel currently on the market was exactly what Jerry was after,

so they machined completely one-off wheels to finish off the Mercury in style.

After all of the pain-staking metal and body work

was completed, Reprise was sprayed with a custom-mix

of House of Kolor paint, giving the car an almost green/orange

chameleon-esque finish.
