Who to help restore 66

[sandtduncan]

We are not mechanics, so we think we will need help in putting our 66 back to her original beauty. Where should we start.. the engine(she runs good now) the electrical, the window seals? Really what is the best investment to start with? Thanks again Hey Fordman..U out there again?

I would start by purchasing a shop service manual and getting a T Bird parts & accessories catalog.

Thank U Joe. Do U know of any experienced restoration shops in the San Joaquin Valley? Thanks again.

I really don't know about that area, but there is a good one here in Burlingame.

What are your ultimate plans for the car? Drive it and enjoy it? Show it as a concours car? If it's to drive and enjoy, I'd say do the mechanical stuff first. Get it safe and reliable and running good. Do the electrical stuff. After that, the interior. Then the paint and body repair. If it needs floor pans welded in, do that soon. Feel free to contact me with questions. [email protected]
