Tom:
Thanks for the info:
I have a '57. Obviously doing a complete restoration, but it's my first. I have good help from my father, who has done restorations, but not T-Birds.
Understanding that Concourse means perfectly original, I will not be Concourse. But I intend it to be done right! I will drive this car when it's done.
I'm deciding on such items as Stainless Steel exhaust, what different radio, etc. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with the Y-block (like special valve covers, etc) but I'm tending towards stock. I have 3speed overdrive trans, power seats. But largely I intend for original.
And yes S56, my lower arm is already broken! It's on my list!
I intend to do the running gear my self, with help from other restoration knowledgable friends. Then, I intend to turn the body over to a shop, which I haven't picked yet.
Who are the shops in Ohio that you know of?
Is one in Coshocton?
And finally, I've been on the shelf as to which T-Bird group to join, but I think I'l jump on the CTCI bandwagon, I've been impressed with this site the most.
I could go on for hours: thanks for reading!
