I dunno, I just watched a 77 Chevy Mailbu get hauled out of my garage. Only GM product I ever cared for. Wayne

Re: 1970 Mercury Marquis: Complete Restoration
So, my parts car went off to the crusher back in December, 2 weeks before Xmas, and I have been rearranging the garge to get back into restoration work. Body work can wait. I am doing the little things, refinishing all of the clips, brackets,and fasteners that are in hundreds of bags about the garage.
I have managed to solve my body mount problem with a 68 Ford Galaxie mount kit. I have lots of extra parts, but managed to replace 90% of the rubber that no one carried. No one has done their cross-reference homework regarding the rubber itself. Heck, even Ford’s own numbers don’t match, but I found matches in width and thickness.The below links are mostly dead.

Yeah. Winter 2018, 19, 20, etc.
I think I can get all the powder coating done this winter. If I stay on it.
Bit by bit. One by one.

Re: 1970 Mercury Marquis: Complete Restoration
Been following Dan's restoration since the beginning. Any progress on the project? I've got a project I'm going to be posting soon to the forum as well. My inspiration was Dan's restoration of his 1970 Mercury Marquis Convertible.
