My new ranchero in the shop

Hey guys.  Recently while cruising on ebay, I ran into a 58 Ranchero package.  The more I read, the more I liked it.  It was only 6 hours away in Michigan, and not too many bidders, so I made the purchase!

The car was originally from New Mexico, it spent the last 20-25 years in Michigan.  The former owner had an ongoing project and needed to sell it due to the economy.  His loss was my gain.  It came complete with many extra parts, and pretty much everything to put it back together.  It has a 292 Y block, 3 speed overdrive, fresh paint job, and a new interior.  My daughter nicknamed it "The Flamechero". 







I plan to finish the fabricating on my 57 and get it into the body shop, and then put this one together.  What do you think?
