Vehicle is a 1962 Mercury Monterey Convertible. I posted some pics a couple of years ago under vehicle introductions and thought I would update my pics. Almost ready to paint. Here's some pics from six months ago. Need to take some updated pics.

Looking good, what motor you going with?

running a 352FE. Had a fresh rebuilt one I had pulled out of another car. Will save the 427 for my other build.

There was some major body work done to the car to get it back to original condition. Acid dip revealed a lot of things on the quarter panels. Trunk floor overall floors were in decent shape. Here's some pics after acip dip. Found several old school braze repairs.
