Looking good. Lucky you winter is mild down in Tennessee. Should have some nice days for a little cruising!
Re: How Does She Look?
Paint job looks great!
One thing my detail-oriented brain couldn't help noticing though - the rear quarter panel emblems are installed back-to-front. Should be a simple matter to remove the retaining nuts and flip them around, if you're so inclined.

Currently Birdless....we'll see how long that lasts!

WOW, the new pics look GREAT! I wonder now if I did the right thing with mine, a P.O. had given mine a BAD red paint job and I stripped it to go back original patrician green. Looking at yours though, I LOVE IT!

Yea, but not that mild? (I have no heater Lol!)
Hunting season just ended yesterday, so I will have plenty of time now, to get ready for Spring

Re: How Does She Look?
Thanks for the heads up, 60fore - I will put that on my list! Honestly, I have not had the chance since I brought her home, just to take a good look at everything?

Thanks, Casey - it's not really a 'Ford Red' (I just looked through a color chart book the shop had, and picked one I liked)

What kind of re-spray was it? a 6" job, a 3' job, 10' job?
There's a lot of frustrating hardware to deal with when trying to strip the body clean for a full on re-spray.

Stirling Moss once said “There are two things no man will admit he cannot do well: drive and make love.”
But then Albert Einstein replied, “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
