WTF Friday: Dwarf Mercury

0

Sometimes I come across builds that leave me completely floored in every way imaginable and this dwarf Mercury is one of those builds. Originally intrigued by it’s small stature I set out to find more info and what I thought to be some sort of fibreglass reproduction was actually quite the opposite.

This Dwarf Mercury known as the Rebel Rouser, is a completely hand built steel vehicle built by Ernie Adams.

Built over the course of five years Ernie made everything from scratch except for the spotlights and mirrors and powered by a Toyota engine the ‘Rouser can hit highway speeds with realtive ease.

Looks like a normal sized car here until you start paying attention to the background

I wonder if these kids thought it was a damn good looking Power Wheels?

The man himself and his creation

I could say a lot more about this car but I think the six minute video below does an excellent job of showcasing Ernie’s, hard work, craftsmanship, and ingenuity.

I’m never going to look at a fridge door the same way again.

Ernie’s built a few more ‘dwarf cars’ so be sure to check out his site dwarfcarpromotions.com for more info.
