EMS! They are the best! Not sure how much they have for Mercury. Might be some of the Ford stuff will swap over.

Re: Patch panels
EMS rockers, floor pans, inner rear quarter should fit. The front quarter and outer rear quarter are where the merc is different I think

From their 17 catalog they only list Merc from 41 to 48.

Re: Patch panels
KBS Coatings also sells a cavity wax.
I used several of their products on my 55 Victoria. https://www.kbs-coatings.com/Cavity-Wax.html Dave |

Re: Patch panels
Cavity wax is a must. hit all the welded seams with it too. moisture works its way in between the spot welds and rusts.
get into the rockers... there is a cowl plug in the front shoulder where the front fender bolts up. you should be able to put a 360 degree nozzle on some tubing and shoot it in there. attached is a shot of the access hole before repair. I've had my victoria done. I'll rust before it does. |
