BARN FIND 63 Mercury Monterey Part 11

[@charlesslack8090]

That frame doesn't look like it has been bent ar repaired due to an accident. Time to cleanup the old bones, and pray for little rust repair. Great job guys! Time for more barley pops to celebrate the milestone.

You are correct there isn't any bends or twists just some rust and rewelding to tend with. Thanks we will celebrate on your behalf lol

You will have some serious undercoat weight reduction to perform under it but the body seem to be in good shape on my side all the floor support were eat by rust. Like the cool period correct tire on the rear. Seeing the bare bone frame it's start to look like my 55 meteor state , Ford product didn't change much from 55 to 63, even the bad welding two parts frame look identical , i bet it was weld by the same worker loll By the way Thanks again for the t-shirt , look amazing, did't notice the 69 camaro shadow in the video and the sticker is all ready on my tool box

It will certainly be lighter after it's cleaned up lol we have all 5 matching tires and wheels just not sure we can use them unfortunately. We noticed the frames didn't change much for a number of years. And yes! haha that guy! Glad you got your swag and you're most welcome! Thanks for supporting our channel.

I had the 63 on our rotisserie, was able a full 360. The frame will have to be raised up in rear or it will be hard to flip. 😊

Thanks for the info. We were looking at the distance when we had it on its side. Windshield pillar is close at that point.

Awesome. Are you keeping track of man hours? Expense so far. People will realize why old cars are so expensive? Doing great

[@hotcarsandcooltools]

Somewhat yes, although I'm not sure we truly want to know lol The boys are here on Wednesdays and we usually put in 4 to 5 hours. That has been roughly 15 Wednesdays plus some extra days for one man jobs and clean ups. It is certainly more expensive to go back to original especially with the hard to find parts.
