Hello Grant and John.
The good about the Galaxie is that it is complete and I suspect low mileage one. The bad is that I think it was parked for many years in tall grass so the floors, the rear quarters and other parts of it are likely rusty. I haven`t looked to see if the frame is rusted. I`ve seen a lot worse but I`ve certainly seen better restoration candidates.

Had light rain here early this morning, I was going to lay some paint today but couldn't seem to push myself out to the shop this morning, it was a little on the cool side too but tomorrow should prove to be better and this gives me more time to build up some courage...lol

If it`s as wide as my old Ford 850 I shouldn`t get into trouble cutting my front ditches with the JD Perry. I had the feeling that the Ford would slide long before it would tip.
I`ll check the trunk for rust today before I forget John.
Great to hear that you`re at the paint stage, what colour?

Good day to all here.
Going to be sweet John, I think it`s a really great colour choice!
Any combines running out your way yet Coin? A few are finally going around here.
Good to hear that freight is rolling again Grant, you have a great weekend too!
Getting body work and paint isn`t affordable any more John, it`s great that you can do your own.

No rain so things are good here Perry, it was a real nice late summer, early fall day.
That`s a real bummer about the rain Colin, looks good for later next week.
How are you doing Ian, working hard?

I sure hope the weather weenie isn't bsing about the next week, it sure would be nice to have a decent week. Rained so hard yesterday that I had to do paint touch ups on some boards. Lets hope we all get a piece of what's supposed to be coming weather wise.
