Hey y'all, Trying to piece together the dual exhaust for the '58 Mercury Medalist. I'm looking to save a buck by using easily available...
I'd love to see that lit up at night. That's just begging for sequential signals.
Ugh, it's Cash 4 Clunkers all over again...so many good cars wasted thanks to programs like these.
Man, this doesn't help me. I've been tempted to go check out a couple Edsels I found on Craigslist... Scott - 1958 Mercury Medalist -
Oh man, this is definitely my favorite. Awesome pictures!
I was driving around that part of town today, just running errands. Lots of real nice cruisers. I hoping to walk around tomorrow afternoon before...

Bummed I didn't see this until now...I was within an hour of this and didn't even know it. I guess there's always next year, and by then the...
^^Haha, I see it now. Bad ass stuff.
Jim, that's perfect, thank you. Very surprised about the 3.70 gears...haven't checked the rear end itself yet. I might want to be changing those...
The both look awesome. So this may be a dumb question, but does the one say something? Or is it just supposed to make people like me ask questions?
@mgtstumpy That color info is awesome, thanks. I also noticed the other data plate doesn't surround the serial number with #s like mine does....
Had not considered outlines line that. That doesn't look bad at all! - 1958 Mercury Medalist -
@Moriarity Wherever you are, someone has opened up a restaurant using my name.
Absolutely amazing. That's a work of art right there. I'd throw a steamer trunk on the back and call it a day. [IMG]
Awesome work on the trans cooler mounting, I really like how you did that. Some of my favorite details are the ones you have to search for. From...
If anyone wants to play around with this, I'd love to see some ideas. Not too many late 50s Mercs getting worked on for inspiration. I'm thinking...
Hey y'all, Looking to see if anyone can shine some light on my serial number from my '58 Mercury Medalist, and reinforce what I think I have...
I was impressed with how nice the body was...but that interior looks amazing. Can't wait to see how well everything cleans up.
The biggest issue is making it work like a proper automatic. We're trying to figure out if we can use a detent plate from a T-Bird or something...
I just read this thread from start to finish and I'm very impressed. This is an amazing build. I will definitely be watching for updates. I think...
Definitely appreciate all the info guys. In talks with my buddy to see which way we want to go. Car was originally a manual, so we have some...
Hey y'all, Lurking through here, I've been reading a lot about the 'imposter Toploader' 3+1 SMOD trans with cast iron case. I see a few for sale,...
That helps a lot, I definitely appreciate it. I just bought a '59 Edsel auto column from eBay, it looks similar to your pictures. Between the...
Here are the pictures. We're also looking for measurements from similar 57-59 FoMoCo cars if anyone can help; we need from the firewall to the...
