Awesome, thank you?

For you guys that know, are the spindles themselves the same for 6 cylinder and 8 in this era? How about the power steering boxes?

Here’s what was done to this car. Makes me mad, but glad it came to us. She will live again! good baby names for twins

Jason- will do. Doors look nice and the LF fender. Once the job is done I will be trying to sell parts or maybe the whole carcass. Probably next summer.

Update: donor car found and brought home. Has most everything we need. Long day and night but worth it! Tear down begins this week.

Latest on this car – after much consideration, the customer has officially decided to go ahead and have me fix the car. First order of business is to find a parts car! I have talked to a few people but ideally I am looking for something that is a V-8 automatic car with power steering and...

I’m only an hour from the Canadian border so that’s not a problem. The problem is, importing a car from Canada. Way too much hassle.

Thank you Ron but nothing to have a breakdown about. This is the kind of thing we do. Even here in Central New York there is a never ending supply of aborted or problematic restorations, all brands, and all value levels. Of course, there is not a never ending supply of money to make them right...

Thanks. Let me see what I can come up with closer to me.

Looking for a donor or front crossmember, staring, harnesses, and various under hood hardware. No body panels needed. Prefer something in NE US.

UPDATE Since receiving the car I have done a bunch of research and developed a few options. Tonight was the meeting with the customer to discuss the course of action. The decision has been made to go back to the stock engine and suspension. They still have the original engine and trans. They...

That’s a thought, Jeff. It would depend on track with and ride height, and what it would take to make those things work. It’s another thing worth looking into. Of course, it all gets back to the owner and how she really feels about the car at this point, and what she’s willing to spend. The...

 That’s good to know.  I wouldn’t have thought of Ford actually having something, I would have pictured the aftermarket but didn’t know where to start.  As for the front, there’s a couple different ways we can go. We are able to fab something, but I talked to Steve at Art Morrison‘s and they...

Thought I would add some more pictures taken last night. Not the greatest, but you can see the type of mess we’re working with.

David and Stanglover- I agree with everything you said. In my opinion she does have recourse against the guy. But that aspect is none of my concern. My focus at this point is determining the best way forward for the car. As for the car- he did a decent job with the metal work. The doors...

By the way, I went out to the trailer to try to get a couple of pictures of what’s going on underneath. Here’s a shot of the pieced together crossmember. I haven’t measured anything, but I’m sure he never considered bump steer. Another thing, the stabilizer rod that goes from the lower A-frame...

Thank you. The lady that owns the car has no idea what she’s doing. All she knows is that her late husband loved it, and she wanted to bring it back in his memory. I have no idea how she got hooked up with the guy that did this work, but she thought she was doing it the right way. Definitely...

Jason- that sounds like just what I would need, I wouldn’t rule it out. If you could get a contact I would be grateful. We are scheduled to sit down with the owner next week after our assessment is done.
