🔧We purchased a 1960 Ford Country Sedan wagon for $1,200 and a 1977 Mercury Grand Marquee for donor parts.
🚗The wagon is in rough shape, with rust, missing parts, and a factory six-cylinder engine.
⚙️We remove unnecessary parts like the power steering pump, AC compressor, and smog pump to make room for the big-block Ford engine.
🔩We clean and prep the engine, including replacing old valves and cam lifters.
🛠️The engine is painted in Ford blue, giving it a fresh and impressive look.
