1953 Mercury 2 Dr Sedan Its in restorable condition or make a rat rod!

Restore it! Or would make a cool rat rod project! A friend of mine told me the motor was overhauled and new water pumps installed! I can not verify this but the motor is not stuck, and is full of clean antifreeze! Not much rust! some body has added a few patches at one time! Body is pretty straight. I believe most parts will be in the trunk and in the boxes in the car. Car ran and brakes worked when parked in shed 7 years ago!
