Thanks for posting the pics Bob. That should show the difference between ford and meteor and mercury. 49 Meteor had a stainless bolt in Merc look alike grille surround. Great if you want the merc look without making one up. The splash pan is different than ford because of the merc type grille. 50 Meteor had a painted grille surround. The hood on both cars was not a 51 ford or Meteor. It is a 49-50 ford hood with a filler piece in the center front. There are some subtle differences. By 51 the Meteor shared all the 51 ford parts but the grille in the center. Any other questions just ask as I think I have stumbled across most of the differences by now.

I wore a camouflage T-shirt once. The response in the pub was "Oooh, it's a floating head!" .
