If one 56 Merc is good, is two better?

I purchased this Merc off Ebay in August from a man in Miami.

I have it for sale on Craigslist

And the work begins

.  

A Chinese fortune cookie says " begin, the rest is easy"  we will see, if that's right.



 The front bumper is in good shape, but the chrome in showing it age,  I probably will have it rechromed  $$$$.                       It's a hunka hunka metal.

 

When we removed the fenders it revealed how clean and solid the car is.

 

I have a new project

In August of last year I purchased a 1956 Mercury off Craigslist from a man who was selling it for his father. They lived in western Kentuckey, since it was off the beaten path, it took a week or so to have it shipped here.
The car has a 79 thunderbird 302 engine with a 2 barrel autolite carb and a automatic overdrive transmission, the car is solid but needs updating, interior, paint and running gear.
