Sorry, ain't been around

Got a little sidelined waiting to get the title deal straightened out on the 40 tonner panel. This is what I've been keeping busy on. Dragged it out of a 20 some year slumber, got it running like a Caddy should and just waiting on all the brake parts to get it drivable.
Sorry for the non-Ford post but I thought some of you would like to know what I've been up to.





Also have a 62 Ranchero waiting for the laying on of hands.

Got it's new shoes ready, freeby set of Firestone white letter tires, couple hours with the grinder and a can of Krylon for the wheels.



Also need a tank for the Sears Spaceliner in the tire pic.

I can if it's ok with the mods to carry on about an off topic car. I plan to get it up in the air tomorrow and hopefully the brake parts all get here but I can pull the gas tank while I'm waiting and see if it's savable.
