Congratulations! There's two things you must obtain before rebuilding / restoring your Tbird. The first is the Ford Shop Manual for the 1965 Thunderbird. Reprints are readily available from the various Tbird supply shops and originals are for sale on eBay all the time. The 65 shop manual is now also available on CD-ROM. The second thing to get is William Wonder's book: "Thunderbird Restoration Guide 1958 - 1966". Between this book and the shop manual you'll find everything you need. The shop manual and restoration guide can be purchased at
www.thunderbirdconn.com and the shop manual on CD-ROM can be purchased at
www.tbirdranch.com. Good luck and have fun!
