Re: 1959 Colony Park Wagon 430 cu in. w/air Frame Off Resto

Theo, Sorry but I'm not the most computer literate. The pictures are embedded in emails and I cannot seem to copy them out. If you want, I can forward the emails to you and you could possibly put them in some sort of archive "restoration file of original features" that all members could easily find ...

Re: 1959 Colony Park Wagon 430 cu in. w/air Frame Off Resto

Rick, If you want I can send you some detail photos of some 58 Mercurys that were taken right after the cars were pulled off the assembly line. Lots of information on them. They may help you greatly. The problem with that under-hood insulation is that it's porous like any other insulation. After 50 ...

Re: 1959 Colony Park Wagon 430 cu in. w/air Frame Off Resto

Very nice restoration. Not entirely correct, but very nice. As with most restored cars, people tend to over-restore and detail to the tenth degree. For instance, the insulation on your hood was "sandwiched" between the inner and outer sheet metal as the hood was being pressed together prior to any p...

Re: My Edsel Citation conv. restoration

Mechanical parts are not too bad to locate. The junior series (Ranger and Pacer models) 58 Edsels share most mechanical parts with 57-58 Fords. The senior series (Corsair and Citation) share most mechanical parts with 57-58 Mercurys, so they're a little harder to locate. So far, I really haven't fou...

My Edsel Citation conv. restoration

Attached are a few photos of the 1958 Edsel Citation conv. I'm currently doing a frame-off restoration on. This was a Calif. car before I purchased it which has aided greatly to the ease of restoration. All foctory assembly line markings were in tact for duplication.
