Here's what I had up before the renovation,always bother me how the holes all showed brown and the gloss black was to reflective to get a good picture......

Gave all the pieces a good cleaning

This first pic.shows the extra board that was put up.I tacked up black felt paper up as a backer so the wall paint wouldn't show thru the holes......also went thru six rattle cans of flat black spray paint,sprayed all the holes from the backside then rolled flat black to the front ......

Nice collection for sure! I really like the Ranchero black and chrome. All you need is the Mercury Twin I Beam from 65-66

Want to thank everyone for the compliments and kind words....been about ten years since this started.Sort of gave up the idea of finding Slick parts and couldn't go home empty handed.The County Sedan,lower left was the start of it.......some swap meets were better than others ....always tried to keep $10.00 as my limit the most expensive piece is the 47 horn ring,got him down to $45..... it's an excellent example of quality chrome and the center design seems to have evolved into the winged thunderbird script....just had to have it.....
A big thanks to Orange R Code for shopping Pate last year,TruckRat for the clock and GeezerNut for the 2000 Millennia Edition badge.....
Still looking for anything 428 or cobrajet,Bronco if anyone has some stuff collecting dust let me know....and here's one for Alan,something exclusive to Australia would be cool.....

These came in mail Sat.from a guy on the,"Fix'em Yourway"forum,not bad for $20.00

Wishing a good day to all,see ya in 197 days
