Great find! for both of you! you got a helluva car and he got a helluva girl.

 

Good luck with it! The 54s are simply the best!!!!

Makes me happy to know that some people actually read everything i post... and thank you.

 

just saying some of the stuff for this car is rather expensive..

 

^^ wecolme to the world of anything old... especially cars

 

Hello everyone, I am sorry I have not posted anything in a while but that's life... anyways we have not done much to her since I last posted but we have had The inner fenders sand blasted and they look super amazing. The plan is to get them powder coated soon. (I will get a picture up of them tonight) The boyfriend has welded up some holes and fixed a few rust spots. Which I also have pictures of...
For the last couple of days the main thing we were working on was getting it home and into the garage.... but that needed some work cause the garage was a mess so we cleaned and moved some stuff and finally got her home. So I promise more work is to come!
OH and like a lot of you suggested, I went out a bought the Connolly Hide Food and cleaner and have cleaned and put the conditioner on the seats.. I am thinking I will do that every week? What do you think?

Corry doing some metal work for me...


In the trailer getting ready to come home from a friends house!


Finally where she belongs!!!!


I am so happy!!!

 

We have slowly been piecing together the front end so we can get an idea of how it looks and what needs to go where..


While I have been working on cleaning the seats up, and cleaning out the trunk, the boyfriend, Corry has been stripping the roof and rear quarter.

 

Nice work! I'm lovin the Lincoln!

 

Beautiful cars, I think they had one of the best looking butts ever put on a car from the factory! Jim

Thanks a lot! Wow beautiful 2 tone dash... they don't make stuff like that anymore. Nice car, nice styling.

 

Here's my trunk all cleaned out... yes she does have a big butt!


Some trim all polished up..

And my inner fenders sand blasted...

 

No thank you. I love the dash and the original colors.. cant wait till its all together with the original seats and door pannels.. only thing we have to get is carpet.

 

Nice job

Cool car! That's going to make one beautiful cruiser.

 

Thanks everyone!

This is a really great picture with the coloring and the mood. I wonder what the professional photographers that we have on the hamb think of it?

 

You have a cool 54 Capri one of my all time favorites
I always wanted a Black 54 Capri with Red interior

 

Ha. I am not sure it was takin by my boyfriend with his cell phone.
