I plan to make this car my daily driver. The interior is perfect. The exterior has numerous minor rust areas that can be easily fixed. The electrical system is perfect with no sign of cracking on the insulation. I want to make this car very quiet and comfortable. I see no need for a big souped up V8 since it will not be drag racing. Around here people with 50s cars only seem to come out during cruises. I will be the exception.

I wonder what the fuel economy will be. The differential said 3.1:1 on the tag which should be great when combined with the overdrive 5th gear of the Borg Warner T-5 that is going in. edsel.com states that the car has a curb weight of 3775 lbs. That curb weight should be much less since I took out the super sized mega heavy V8 and Mile-O-Matic auto trans. The Ford 2.3 is a midget compared to what the car had in it. I have plans to cover the underside of the car with coruplast when it is finally up and running.
