I enjoy watching this car progress. It just keeps getting better and better!
[IMG] Found the source of the leak. Someone at some point used too long of a bolt at the trans mount, and the bolt punched through the aluminum...
[IMG] We recently moved, so I finally have some garage space for working on the car. First things first is the leaking transmission. I had a...
I replaced the cracked manifolds with eBay stainless headers last year. Used locking header bolts and no issues at all. Sent from my iPhone...
The Merc is back out for the spring and already the miles are adding up. I picked up some ‘new to me’ rims and tires over the winter. I swapped...
It's getting closer and closer to being done. Excellent craftsman ship as usual Larry.
It's coming along nicely. You are doing real good work with the car man.
Way to go Danny, well done not giving up and chasing the record. I spent way too much time today at work explaining to my co-workers what land...
It’s coming along nicely. [emoji106]
Went to Red Deer today to wander the Super Run show. Even with the rain, it was worth the trip. Some real nice cars and I saw a H.A.M.B. tag on a...
The car was repainted at some point in the 1970’s or 80’s. It’s pretty rough up close with rock chips and rust spots. But if you stand back 10...
Every little detail and the rpu is looking better and better. It’s amazing what those little changes do to the overall look of the truck.
So far it’s only shiny when it’s wet from a wash. Soon though, I want to make what paint is there shine. [IMG][IMG]
Yup, the Red Deer show is coming up pretty quickly in a couple weeks. I’m planning on going up on the 4th to look around.
Haha, yeah I think I can get some video of the window going up and down for you.
Replaced the dead relay with a 30amp Bosch style unit. Made a big difference in how smooth the breezeway window operates. Sent from my iPhone...
Looking good Rob [emoji106]
If you want to get a trade, the two I would have a serious look at are plumbing and electrical. These are jobs that are not easily offshored, and...
Larry, The RPU is really coming along well. Washington blue is the perfect colour choice and the level of your attention to detail is top notch.
Here's my 1963 Mercury 400. [ATTACH]
I just finished reading through all 350+ pages of this thread. Wow, and thank you. It has definitely gone through some changes of form but...
Next issue that I need to rectify; the power window relay. #c1af-14677-a is dead as dead can be. The PO has the circuit hot wired off of the...
Thanks Buckeye. The quarters are pretty soft and rusted through in a few spots. But other than that it is a solid car, I have yet to do anything...
Here are a couple more pictures of the Merc. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've spent a long time reading different threads, and finding good information on the HAMB. The wealth of knowledge and experience here is...
Wow, that colour pops on the car. Looking good for a temporary paint job.
New Master cylinder and cleaned out the booster fixed my issues. Stops better then it ever now. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Took this picture on my way to my parents. First time my dad got to see the Mercury in person I picked him up for a trip out for ice cream.[ATTACH]
Have any other pictures of the bubble top Starliner? That’s a sweet looking car. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
