Finally getting some pictures up, she came in on Wednesday.

Here it is still on the truck, complete with years worth of dust.



complete with fender skirts in the trunk


The engine bay was much cleaner than i expected (Except for the sound deadening stuff hanging from the hood. Springs for the hood were in good shape as well so no broomstick required or anything.




Car came while i was still at work, so only had a little bit of time to get it put away. Gave it a quick bath, front chrome is in great shape, as is the side trim. Body is nice and straight as well.




The rear bumper ends, possible the whole rear bumper will need to be replaced. Anybody know a good place to get these?



The interior should be fine for now after a good cleaning, but some stuff will need to be done. Love the swing away steering Column. 64,194 miles.




All tucked away in her new home.



Only thing i have done so far other than washing off the dust is squirt oil in the cylinders thru the spark plug holes and look inside the gas tank. There was gas in the tank, so it might not be too rusty inside it, wont know for sure till I drop the tank. The paint will probably be pretty nice once i take a clay bar to it and give it a good buffing. Unfortunately there are several small paint dings that have some surface rust, probably just enough that once those are taken care of, i would need to repaint the whole car. Will throw in more updates as i make some progress on the car, hope to get it driving in time for the Lonestar Roundup in April.

Nice. There is starting to be a decent aftermarket for the old FE motors.
