Howie.. Its beautiful and the rest of the items left to be done go smoothly. Hope your dad is doing o.k.

Thanks Bob

The rest of the work is the easy and fun part

Dad's doing ok, he has difficulty walking for extended periods of time, that's why we haven't been out to many swap meets or shows.

We did make it over to John Partidge's to see his MKII, it's a beauty

If you're in the neighbourhood stop in

Thanks for a wonderful thread on this car ....I've always liked them ,even built the model kit that came out early 60's . Here in Windsor , a local collector Mike Brkovich , loaned a green one to a local Ford dealer I worked at about 10 years ago . I got to pull the car in and out of the showroom and drive it carefully around the dealer lot ........a fun experience and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face . What amazed me was the lack of storage room for such a big car ( not a convertible )

Oh and I like the colour choice for the interior , very classy .

Thanks for the kind words

You're right the trunk is small for a car of this era, the spare tire and trunk mounted a/c use up a lot of space

Out for a ride with Dad today

Not sure why the last couple of pics of pics are sideways

Assuming the pics are stored on your computer , you can simply rotate them in the "edit " area when you click on a particular pic .

They pics are oriented correctly on my Ipad, they turn when I try and post them here
I have posted them the same way as every other picture in this thread

Bob T · BRANTFORD, ONT

Howie... Glad to see your post. I hoped to run into you and have been to the house several times but no one home. Car looks great . Any new projects? Hope all is well with you and your family.

wolfman1 · ST GEORGE, ONT

Hey Bob
No new projects but have moved the Kustom Boat tail Riv into the shop finally
Might start back on it in the spring
Been a really busy year for me at work, so not much free time
Dad's health has been up and done so he hasn't been in the garage much
Hope to see you around as well and that all is well
