Hellooooo! New guy here

Hi! I’ve got one toe in the water and thinking about jumping in!
I'm on the fence about buying a 1961 Falcon I found but Im not 100% sure yet. The car is literally a basket case, no seats, engine is sitting inside the car, tranny is in the trunk.������price is right.
my motivation is I had a 1967 Mustang for 30 years, gave it to my son who promptly traded it for a truck a month later.�� I miss it so much!
I still have the original 289 from my Mustang and was contemplating creating a Frankenstein Futura. Many classic cars are to complete to feel ok about not keeping them original, but not this Falcon. It?s next stop would be parted out and crushed.
