Thought I would start a build thread on one of my projects. I am a couple of yrs in to the project already but as I recently joined the forum, thought I would share. Here's the 'cliff notes' version from the start.
Wasn't really looking for another project, already had 2 others but looking through the collector car trader a couple of yrs ago I came across a 66 T-Bird loaded and a "Q" code for less than others listed. I watched the ads for about 6 weeks, the price dropping a little each week. Finally told (read as "asked") the wife if I could call on it and see why it's still listed. I'm in LA car was up in Nor-Cal. He had a lot of calls but 500
+ miles was a long way to go to look at a car. After looking at pictures he sent me, we struck a pending deal over the phone for an even lower price. He was an Estate Sales Jewelry guy and got this car in a sale. He just wanted to turn it. Deal was struck, drove it on the trailer and brought it home. The day it came home.
