WOW Joe !
    I'm sorry to see your car going away.  These times are all screwed up.   Obviousy, you did what you had to do.  Jay 

Good price. Other than the wheels...sweet looking car.

sad to see your baby leave Joe, but I sure do understand that. You have another one in the line, waiting to get assembled, which will take a lot of money, efforts, time and attention. it's just life...

Jay, I made that tool 27 years ago when I lowered my first 57 SD. I have used it on several early Fords since. also worked great on my 53 Lincoln. Cheap but sturdy and simple.

Weird

I installed the trunk latch and have it aligned and working.  As far as the mechanical release, I ran that between the inner and outer panels the same with the electrical wiring.

I did not.

Thanks guys; my health is fine, but as bill said, life gets in the way sometimes.
Rich, I sent you a PM earlier today, but for some reason, I don't see it in my sent box; let me know if you got it.

It is funny how "life" changes things for us.  My wife has had a series of medical issues over the last two years.  Taking care of business resulted in the cars being put on the back burner.  As a result everything got sold, 57 Ranchero, 57 Retractable, 65 T-Bird, and 58 Edsel.  Turned them into a 24 F150 Lariat.  No regrets, no hard feelings, just life.  Now that things are looking better I am back in the "collecting" stuff, just on a more manageable level.
