quote DINO:

You said in beginning …”a former Y/SA with blistering 1/4 mile times in the 19 second bracket back when” Where & when was this ?

Lebanon Valley 1975 and 1976. Dover had switched over to brackets by then and I only ran the other car with the 351W at Dover except when the engine was out, and then I snuck up with Dad’s new Maverick (Shhh).

Springs out and the rest of the front suspension is following.
Looks like there had been a critter briefly visiting.

It’s finally time to put the Body Cart together!
You can see the original light blue paint where the fender was covering it up.
Plan is to return to that original color.

To be honest, we started this one in 2009. 😳

So we bought the car in 2009 but did not start on it until 2014. By summer of 2015, it was stripped down and went into a storage CONEX a couple of towns over. Last summer (2017) after The Ford Nationals in Carlisle, we pulled it out of storage to pick back up on it.

After a 2 year slumber in storage, the ’65 returns home. Next the truck will get loaded up and the car secured for the trip to the shop near Philly.

Luckily the rain stopped as we drove south, so we stopped for lunch in New Jersey.
