First thing to address was the floors. On the plus side, it seems to have rusted from the inside out....the car was originally equipped with a rubber floor mat (which was under the carpet) that didn't do it any favors. It's surprisingly solid except in the front, which I expected.
From here, it's scrape, wire brush, vacuum, scrape, wire brush, vacuum....then fire up the compressor and cut out the damaged driver's side. I plan to have this floor completely done within a week. The exhaust was rotted from the axle back, so I bent a new section over the axle and installed a Thrush glass pack. She sounds pretty mean  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdDG...ature=youtu.be

You know, during casual conversation with Justin (OS X) at the convention I said, sure, I'd sell the Mercury. Little did I know that he was serious, and today he drove it home....
And so the hunt begins anew

What you really need is an Edsel. https://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/6119802729.html

I had two '59 Edsels about a quarter century ago. Ugly damn things!
The '58s were much nicer looking.....not sure what I wanna get yet though
