1960 EDSEL PROJECT

I finely have some time to work on the 60 Edsel Station Wagon that my friend Fred in Petaluma CA. gave me in 2008 along with all the parts.

 There were 2 chassis that I brought home 1 that was under the body with the engine and 1 with the suspension on it.

 The 1 with that was under the body was striped of all the parts, lines and brackets then the welds were ground smooth and mounted on the rotisserie.

 The frame was sand blasted on the concrete in front of my shop so I could sweep up and reuse the sand moor than once.

 Then rolled into the shop and spray painted with Summit Racing chassis semi-gloss black.

 The second frame was set up out side the shop with the engine removed then the suspension parts were taken off one at a time with pictures taken so I would know how to put it back together.

 All the parts were bead blasted in my blast cabinet then painted. This took a lot of hours at the blast cabinet.

 

 

 Spindles, steering parts, body mounts, rear end parts and power steering (below) was rebuilt all ready for installation.

 The rear end was sand blasted, painted and the oil changed.
