68 Ford LTD. Another shot of us at the gas station. Had just pulled it out of the farm yard where it had been stored for 14 years. We stopped for more air in the tires.

First up is one of the worst possible pictures. This shows the reason this car's ultimate destiny has been a matter of some great amount of head-scratching ever since I bought it three years ago. Sure, it could be repaired by the right person, espe...

Rear of the car in the process of being disassembled. Visible on the far end of the bumper is a remainder of the event that made me finally decide to move on. I was trying to convince the tailgate to close correctly and the window broke - and someh...

Back seat out of the car. I'd never removed a rear seat back before, but it turned out to be pretty straightforward once I took a good look at it.

Parts laying around the garage. Hood, exhaust, and fuel tank are easily visible. Dig the little propane heater I got to cut the winter chill in the garage. The fuel tank I don't need, but it's less than two years old and cost me about $115, so it ...

Hood, fuel tank, and wheel. I got this set of '98 cop wheels, complete with good used Eagle RS-A tires, for $200 from a Crownvic.net member in the Indy area. They'll be the first addition to the new car. Ask my pal torquelover from Grandmarq.net, ...

Rear axle with one 11" brake assembly harvested. The drums and shoes were nearly new, not even completely bedded-in, and cost me perhaps $120 total, plus I need them for my other wagon, so they stay. Backing plates were pulled so they can be sold o...

Front spindle area with front swaybar removed. It's supposed to be larger diameter than the sedan units. Will have to measure and compare. I lucked out and didn't have to service the front brakes during the 2.5-3 years I drove the car, but somethi...

The '87 roller 302 originally from my other wagon. It made a great replacement for this car's wheezing original 351, especially after adding a four-barrel up top and a rebuilt C4 behind it. Just finished swapping on the stock rebuilt E7 heads and '...

Quick tribute to some friends that are making this process very much easier. Ironically, though the air tools represent an investment of under $100 total, the only off brand (and the only one purchased new) is the 1/2" Campbell Hasselhoff impact to ...
