It was a shame that such an iconic custom got so beat up. I am glad that it got restored to its former glory.

 

That's better.

 

From above -

Interesting, you don't often see nice welds (motor mount) on the older cars, even the race cars. It's got a few well done details.

Indeed. I wonder what the restoration cost.

 

I like the fabricated idler pulley mount. Where the "Hurst" mount attaches to the upright there doesn't appear to be a lock washer.

 

Whatever the restoration cost was, IIRC, the owner of Galpin Ford can afford it. Regardless of the cost, I feel that it was money well spent. The Hirohata Mercury was / is important to our past.

 

The 59 Plymouth was Rich Hercorn from Marin County Ca. San Rafael .

 

Now thats a nice Dodge ( Brothers )
