Re: Mercury Differential
I believe you are right. I'm still researching the Migs. Shopping a little and watching various youtube videos of them at work. I think the forums have pretty well talked me out of the cheaper little wire feed, flux core wire welders.

Re: Mercury Differential
A suggestion. Once you have the floor pan in and the gas pedal located, weld two nuts to the underside of the pan and use machine screws to bolt it down.. Last a lot longer than using sheet metal screws. I did this when I restored my Tbird

On the 52 I came up with a crude but surprisingly satisfactory replacement. I cut a short of heavy rubber belting material. Screwed one end of it to the gas pedal and the other end to the floor. It seems to work just fine.

Re: Mercury Differential
There was an old man that drove a 53 4dr sedan almost every day When I first moved to Elgin 40 years ago. Come to think of it the car was not that old at that time, Ha! It was a metallic sort of green with an ivory roof. Don't know what ever happened to it.

Re: Mercury Differential
hmm... my 53 was a "woodland green" with ivory top. i was told it came from the town of Mackenzie Tennessee but I wonder how many were actually ordered that way?

Re: Mercury Differential
I have spent a lot of time searching the net to find out the actual name of the colour combination on my 53. I know the 52 is a solid "fanfare Maroon" but can't find anything conclusive on the 53. My sense of colour is not that great and have a hard time with these charts on screen. So for now I'm just calling it green with a white top. If I had to make a guess I'd say Sungate ivory roof with Timberline green body. I've cleaned it up a lot since this photo but didn't have any outdoor photos after the clean and shine. Indoor lighting does not give an accurate view in my opinion.

Re: Mercury Differential
Ok, maybe disregard my comments on the colours. I see the chart I was looking at was for 1953 Ford, not Mercury. Search continues.

Re: Mercury Differential
Timberlane green and ivory sounds right. I can’t remember where I got the color from. It may have been from my 49-57 Ford parts book. I’ll check tomorrow if there is a section on paint.
