This is how I found it...in a parts yard in Kennewick Washington...a long way from home.  It had been bought as a project by my Uncle's nephew and his brother.  Harland owns a mustang restoration business.  They figured they get to it when they had the time...that was in 1999.  That's my Dad in the background thinking "I thought I raised him to be smarter than that!"

The ones that got away

the Sunliner

the Truck

 

 

 
Everything had been pulled off the car and was sitting on pallets.  I had my work cut out for me. 

A couple of plusses for this car were that it was essentially rust free, the motor had been reworked, and the chrome had been redone.  Everything else...well..it needed some TLC.
