A rusty 65 Galaxie 500 LTD

Dont know if this fits into this category or not, but heres a link to the 'online diary' I kept on the 65 LTD my neighbor gave me... Started Sept 2003, back together April of '04 turned into the rustiest mess Ive ever touched, took about 1000% more time and money than anticipated, but we got it back together again- had a lot of fun with the kids along the way. Got frustrated a couple times along the way, and fully admit being in over my head 100% of the time and made many mistakes along the way, but kept plugging away at it till it was back on the road.

Was not a 'restoration' by any means, just tried to preserve what we could, patch up the nasty stuff, hoping to keep the old thing around a few more decades... here's a link to the pages on it if youre bored- otherwise, I'll just put some pics below:
