If I had some money, know just what I'd do, go downtown and buy a Mercury or two. ' cause I'm crazy bout a Mercury.
Nice looking Merc, (Dig the song too.)
I know it's frustrating, but keep at it. You'll be happy once it's done. For what it's worth, here's how I did my two tone few years back. I tried a different spin on the roof as well. Not the best pick, but you get the idea.
There not worth anything, please send them to. I'll even pay shipping costs. Seriously, nice find but I have no idea of their value. Gotta be a bunch though.
Either way, bags of cat litter and/or a couple of cinder blocks in the trunk over the rear tires should help with traction. The litter has the added benefit if being used is you do get stuck in the snow. My dad always added these when "winterizing" his cars.
