No I don't really have any plans to modify it, I'll probably keep it all stock. I do want to undo any jury-rigging the previous owner may have done, and clean it up a little. I also want to paint it. It is going to be my practice vehicle for painting so I know what I'm doing when it comes time to paint my Edsel. Nice ride btw!
to the forum. Nice wagon and thanks for the photos. Odd the electrical problem wasn't there at first. Maybe a loose fuse or wire.
Yes! That's the way to do it! Leave it stock! Too many wagons/rides out there fiddled with.. Looks great in stock form..
Please tell me this picture wasn't takes today??? The weather man was wrong here, we've got about 6" on the ground and it's still falling! Ahhh Canada... aboard, great looking wagon. So your a back yard body guy are you?
I like the Edsel, and that blue Ford wagon brings back alot of memories of my early driving days, but its your Satellite that I really want. That canary yellow color has always been a favorite of mine with that roof line. I thought long and hard about keeping my 67 Coronet hardtop blue when I had it repainted as I had really wanted to go with the 66-69 yellow that I like so well on these cars.
No Fannie that picture wasn't taken today. Actually that's one of the pictures from the person who sold the car to me. I haven't taken any in my driveway yet. If I did today, there would be a dusting of snow on it! Tomorrow there will be a few inches I'm hearing.
me too...musta been during my Xmas hiatus....so nice lookin wagoon there Dog...as is the rest of the collection whats the plans for the Sledsel?
Hi Rev and 1tire, thanks for the welcome! My plan for the Edsel is to restore her back to stock. I refurbished the engine a few years ago and drove it to the local shows and cruises for a summer. Car drove nice but looked like crap. I began the restoration two years ago. It's going okay though finding time to do it can be challenging. I removed the interior and had the seats redone with the correct vinyl. The door panels aren't too bad so I'll probably leave them for now. I wasn't planning on doing the headliner either but I have to replace the windlace and I think that will affect the headliner, not sure though. Right now I'm working on the body. Here is a link to a blog I keep semi-regularly (well maybe not that often, I still haven't got the hang of this blogging thing. http://kurtsedsel.blogspot.com/ I'm a novice at bodywork (well car work in general) so I've been learning as I go (sometimes by my mistakes).
