Thank you Henry8. We have Home Depot here but not Menards. This is a great help, I will check tomorrow at Home Depot and see if they got it.:).

Good to hear you got it started. You said you were a newbe, I'm glad you asked on here about the voltage and remember there is no such thing as a stupid question. So, be safe and ask. A shop manual would also be a good thing to have. Good Luck with your 55.

This sounds like a good idea to me, the only weatherstripping I have seen is foam, would you be able to post a picture or where you got it?

Congratulations, nice car.

Mustang looks like it's in good shape, was it 5 litre?

Mike, the Victoria line was a 2dr hdtp, like yours. The Town Victoria was the 4dr hdtp, Town Sedan was a 4dr sedan and Club Sedan was the 2dr sedan. Do you have the chrome trim for the interior panels?

I am familiar with the differences between 351 Windsor and 351 Cleveland, there is a 351 W in my 56, but I didn't know there were different 302s, Windsor vs Cleveland.

Looking good Mike, did the guy you bought the Meteor from paint it? I noticed a couple of 55 or 56 Fords in the background.

Placentia, east side of the Avalon Peninsula.

I am glad it found a good home, those Meteors are getting scarce. I would like to get my hands on a 56 Crown but I need to win the lottery to get one.

Mike, now that I see your 56 side on, I think I was talking to the previous owner on that car. It was advertised on KIJIJI. Due to distance, cost of shipping, etc. I held off. I am sure it will be nice finished and hopefully you keep us posted on your progress. Mike are you familiar with the...

nice Crown Randall, I also agree with the others that they look much nicer without the continental kit.

Welcome Mike, greetings from east of you, on the rock,lol. I have a 56 Ford Town Sedan. Nice Meteor you have, if you are on Facebook there is a page for Meteors and Monarchs.

The Monarch, which is similar to a Mercury with different trim, had the OHV engine in 1954.

I have a feeling that this is a U.S. car that was recently made to look like a police car and used for advertising condominiums.
