This listing is for a set of original 1957 or 1958 Mercury front fenders. These fenders have been in storage in an old shed in Brooksville Florida for half a century. The fenders were bought new according to the deceased owner's son and were bare metal with no primer protective coating of any kind. They were never used and over the years they developed surface rust from sitting in Florida's humidity. I bought them about fifteen years ago with the intention of dipping them in acid to remove the surface rust but the plant that did this process closed in Tampa and I haven't found another dipping facility. The Ford metal was thin in those years and I would not risk sand blasting these. There is one small hole on the left lower dog leg that came about from sitting on the shed's rotten floor. I haven't seen one of these fenders since the 60's that wasn't rusted in the lower doglegs and around and above the headlight. I don't have to tell anyone how rare these parts are and I don't expect they will ever be reproduced aftermarket. I would prefer to sell these with local pickup. Shipping can be arranged but it will be pricey to securely package them for transport. To hell with shippers insurance because these parts can't be replaced. They can be picked up at my home in Wesley Chapel Florida which is twenty miles North of Tampa just off I-75 Exit 179 at SR-54. I do travel North to Michigan and Pennsylvania to visit family occasionally and arrangements could be made for me to take them North for a fee. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding or buying these parts.

Winners announced in Factory Five design competition

Fri, 17 Jun 2011

Earlier this year, we brought you news of an open-sourced design competition from American kit car manufacturer, Factory Five. The brief called for a compact, two-seat roadster that shared a drivetrain with the Subaru Impreza. The car would feature a bespoke space-frame chassis, but the mechanicals would be lifted from the Impreza to allow the car to sell for under $15,000.
