    Picked this project up from an older friend who realized it was never going to get done.

    Its my first Ford (been a lifelong gm guy)

    Got a rebuilt flathed and a good body and its about 98% complete, and a parts car

    let the fun begin http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/24010993

    Welcome from the mid west, What are your plans for the car,a Custom or Stock? They are Cool either way. Good luck with your project.

    Welcome to the Group! You are on the way to a fun project,kind of sad in a way the 2 door Ranch Wagon is a "parts" car as Ford made ten times more 2 doors than they did the Ranch Wagons.

    The ranch wagon is too much of a project for me, no floors, real bad quarters,fenders, but the darn thing runs perfect.
    Its also a great guide to help put the customline together
    I'm going to take what i need off it (which won't be alot) and then offer it up to someone with a bit more ambition.

    If you really want to have a good guide for taking it apart and putting it back together pick up the Ford Parts CD from member Retro Jim only $12 shipped to your door,all the members that have one give it two thumbs up!
