I am a little confused...........if you want to update the underhood section on the Edsel, why not locate one of the "newer" AMT issues from a few years ago (ebay, model roundup,etc...) and transplant that section into the older Edsel? That is what I would do, but I could be all wet.

I had forgotten about these till you asked. I was mostly concerned with the details regarding the door jambs at the time.

Something to make note of is that the fender well liner runs from the core support to just behind the wheel. This is not replicated correctly in the kits. I know... because I have a 1958 Ford! The engine compartment goes clear to the fender sheet-metal behind the wheel arch!

Great place for dump pipes huh?

For that matter, find and build the AMT/Ertl release of the '58 Edsel Pacer HT--it's the SAME subject as the original 1958-issue '58 Edsel, same body style, Pacer trim--much more highly detailed, WITH opening hood. Hmmmm?

Here is a better look at the drivers side.

And the firewall, all same as the Edsel.

Based on other reference, that air cleaner doesn't look stock.
