I promised some pics..


...and here is one to start.


I can say that even since taking this one picture that I have advanced further and will take some more pics to give a better idea as to the project state.


I have moved to the right rear quarter where it looks like I'll be putting in new sheet metal instead of trying to pull the crushed spot.

Bought replacement driver side rear window
Bought Passenger side convertible top frame

I have also determined that the car should be repainted back to its original Oxford white. Mostly because white hides flaws wonderfully, but also because I am a bit of a purest when it comes to restoration.

Not sure what I want to do about the wheel situation. Its currently on 16 inch T-Bird Turbo Coupe rims which on some level I kind of like, but then it does go against my creedo of originality.

Pictures to come!
