Building on top of a good foundation - 1960 Hardtop

[Guest]

Purchased my '60 from a side lot of a discount car dealership in Milwaukee, Oregon. $8,800 and a few dollars for safety items. Was from a collection but needed brakes and general restorative rubber seals. Red and white leather with power windows, AM radio, and power seats. No seat belts or even holes drilled in the floor for seat belts. Wonderful starter car.

Need to tie into folks that have actually done restoration. Hello, anyone out there?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris:
You need to join the club in order to post pictures. If you are just getting into the restoration, it would really benefit you to do this. A lot of us have fought the same battles that are in front of you and there are some great resources available here.
And the FUN begins.

Building on top of a good foundation-'60 Hardtop

Chris, a Welcome to you was posted in the New Members Welcoming Forum. Please read it! There it is explained the three ways to post pix on this Forum, and the size they must be. You will find much of the information that you are going to need in the Technical Resource Library (TRL), the link to which is always part of my signature element and that of John Pizzi-jopizz. The first thing you are going to need is a '60 Shop Manual. They are available from any of our many Tbird parts houses. Since you live in Oregon, the Bird Nest cant be to far from you. Look in the Advertisements Forum and you will find all the parts houses listed there. You can find the wiring schematics in the TRL. Welcome and there are a lot of people on here who can help you, and have been down the road you are embarking on.
