Title: this is my last one Post by: holden1959fc on August 10, 2011, 08:43:57 AM Hi all just got started on my last retoration job. A 59 FC. I would like to start by thanking some of the guys on here for posting all the little tips that they found help them when they started out. Over the last 2 days I hae convinced my girlfriend to let me use her shed on the farm to do the job. I have removed all the hang on parts and assessed them to see what I can reuse. I have been pretty lucky here I recon and looking at some of the jobs on here I recon very lucky..... Today took all the front end off and today I am lucky enough to have my young fella home to give me a hand. He is very keen to be part of this and as it is his first resto I am sure he will get the bug...... Is that a good thing HMMMMMM we will see in years to come. I will post some photos as soon as I get my head around the computer. Off to the shed now to clean up the front end ready for powder coating....
