'55 Mercury. . .

The firewall of the Mercury has all been filled and ground down ready for a coat of paint to make it look a bit nicer, but the work to fill all the spaces certainly takes time and considerable talent. . .
Time to start filling in the massive gaps in the wheel tubs, another time consuming process where you need to do lots of little welds and then grind them dow for the perfect finish. If you try doing it with one long weld, you will get waaay too much heat into the steel and it will buckle all over the place while cooling down. . .
