Thunderbird Year
1964
Hello group I'm a new member and stumbled upon a true garage find..64 convertable that was parked in a very dry garage in 1978 over 45 years. Its in awesome condition with solid floors, quarters, frame, rocker panels even the battery box all just free! Of course sitting has taken its toll on the top (canvas) but top frame is beautiful. But to be honest the bird is outside my wheel house being I'm a Stang and Cougar builder so I may lean on my fellow members here to help me bring my 64 back to the honorable state she deserves.
Glad to be among true members of this classic car and hope to be connecting with alot of you for your advice.

In a few years you will have an AWESOME cruiser. The years will pass anyway so be diligent about progress or it will look like this in 10 years.

I need to rephrase what I mean by "awesome condition" I meant the rust free floors, frame, quarters, fender wells, rocker panels etc. The areas that rust thru on 60 year old convertables makes the condition " awesome. 20241012_154113.jpg20241012_154034.jpg20241012_154034.jpg

I need to rephrase what I mean by "awesome condition" I meant the rust free floors, frame, quarters, frame rails, rocker panels, fender wells, top frame etc. The areas that are usually in bad shape on 60 year old convertables being rust free on this find is what I meant by "awesome condition" 20241012_154034.jpg20241012_154113.jpg
 
Looks like a great project. What direction are you planning on going?
