    Hey, I even like the color! But those skirts have gotta go! I just think the 65-68 Mercs are not really attractive with skirts, and they weren't available from the factory. Neat car, I'll be it goes good too.

    That skirt looks like a droopy eyelid. It certainly makes this car look somewhat goofball. If a skirt need be, then better a flat one not interrupting the rectangular concept of these

    I was actually going to say I don't mind the skirts on this one. I think it's a nice car with/without them.

    Those heater hoses don't look like much fun to change.

    Yeah, on the '66, with A/C, the heater core gets moved outboard, and there is a control valve under the right fender.
