Once Vic had the car in his possession he decided to make a few small changes to better suit his taste. The car had been built with a column-shifted auto but Vic prefers a floor-shift application, so the existing steering column was removed and replaced with a tilt Flaming River version. This Merc was also sporting a large diameter steering wheel of unknown fifties origin that proved too big to manoeuvre the car comfortably, so it was also swapped out and replaced with a Billet Specialties tiller. The motor received some attention as it was built with a tri-power intake and all three carburettors were operational. Vic didn’t want the potential hassle of having to constantly tune the setup, so the triple carbies were removed and a 750 Holley carb and Caddy air cleaner took their place.
