Greetings!

I was given the link to this site while browsing the falcon area over on Facebook. I just picked up another '64 2-door post to restore. Or, rather, I picked up a large bin of rusty bits that seems to resemble a '64 2-door post.

I'm not really sure what the plans are for this one yet. It was originally a V8 car, so it's ahead of the last '64 2-door post I did. That one was bought with no engine/trans and was a 6 cylinder car.

I've got it mostly cleaned out so far. My tools are all down south pending my move at the end of the month, so I only have my hands to work with. No broom, no vac, etc.

The PO had started to take the car apart for some reason. The driver's side valve cover was unbolted. The oil pan was dropped and the starter was out. Driveshaft removed, etc. Sooo... The plan for THOSE things is to just pull the engine and go through it to see what's going on. It turns over by hand and you can hear the compression on it. It's a 302 with standard stock rockers. I found 2 rusted out cams and a box of roller lifters in the backseat. But, I also found the rear seat from a 60's mustang and trim from what seems like the bed of an old truck. No other interior really.

Flintstone floor company has done their part. You can see pavement from any seat in the house. Tomorrow the new toe boards and front/rear/left/right floor pans should show up from C2C.

When it was dropped off at the house, I spent 2.5 hours with the pressure washer. It cleaned up fairly well. The picture below is after pressure washing and after removal from the abundance of odd parts inside.

Preparing to put the local vendors kids through college.. again..

So I know I need the rear seat. The front, I'm not sure if I'll go with newer mustang seats, or find some buckets to get rebuilt. It will need headliner, windshield, trunk and door seals, patches in the trunk, etc. Did I mention my tools are still down south until around the 5th of May? grrrrr
