Hi there everybody! I just found your site and have really enjoyed reading many of the posts! I've been around many years working on and around many different makes and models of cars. Most everything from Drag Racing and Stockcar racing back in the 70's to restoring a 58 Ford Retractable, 58 Ford Fairlane 500, 67 Camaro, and now restoring a 54 Merc Monterey. I also worked as an Auto Parts counterman for many years back in the late 60's till the late 70's. I may be able to help with some questions from time to time, As I also need some questions answered myself from time to time. Hope to be able to contribute to the site!! I am doing this Merc restoration a little different this time and not keeping it stock and original as all the others. This one will be more like the street hot rods I had in the 60's while in High School.
Do you have any pics of your 58 ford fairlane or your merc? I bet there beautiful cars, restored or not!!
