Looks great. My best friends parents bought one new: it was yellow/white. I rode in it many, many times. Believe they put over 200,00 miles on it when it died about 1970.

Thanks, Mark. That's high millage. They must have lovingly maintained it to reach that number.

They had four sons, 3 of them drove the heck out of it till they got their own car.

I have to laugh when you exclaim that it took you two weeks! I've got cars I haven't sorted after six years!

This is a joy to behold mate, absolutely gorgeous! Well done on sticking with the build despite the disappointments., you'd never know to look at the finished car.

Fords are pretty tough, it's the rust that gets them in the end.
