There are hundreds and hundreds of hours in this car, a five year project. There is not a nut or bolt that hasn't been replaced or refurbished.
This project started with a rust free body, that was completely hand blocked through the entire process. And then each part painted separately. There is over $3000 worth of paint and clear.
The hood, is a custom one off Cyclone vintage tear drop. It took many hours to craft, and make straight. Then there were five coats of hot rod satin black that was flawlessly applied.The hood hinges were also powder coated.
All the chrome and trim has been re-conditioned. The bumpers were both re-chromed at a cost of over $2000.
All the black trim has been powder coated in black wrinkle.
There are less than 200 miles on the car since the resto. The car wins wherever it is displayed. It placed second at the Ford Nationals, also claimed editors choice award. Even Linda Vaughn Miss Hurst, signed the glove box door at the Hurst reunion!
There are no disappointments at any point on this car, body, jams, under the hood, interior etc. I have been a bodyman for 35 years, and I restored this vehicle for myself. I took my time, and did it right! Any questions,or to request more photos, please email Ronnie.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
