And once delivered!

rolled the windows down when the car was delivered and the passenger side would not go up, plus the weather was starting to get bad so scottie put it in his shop,
and fixed the motor yesterday but
while a few parts where on the floor the dog ran off with the little side view mirror cover and ate it!
yep, so he's got another one ordered!

now this!!

Actually the Black is my favorite - I would gladly own any of the colors and not be picky.

Mark, it's way to early for Mike to even know what he'll own by then!

alright! alright!
so you guys know I like cigars, miller Lite and trying my hand at finding every Ford ever made!

but this is it,
Really
this... is... it!

spent the morning in -50 degree weather hand picking ice off the car and then cleaned it up
and got the tags so I'm good to go.. where ever!!

oh this is the best, I got to take the protective clear plastic off the radio face!
the original owner had left it on there.. now where did I put all those cassettes!

:burp:

Looks like George is about ready to test the finish durability once the hot water dries.
