Hey Sharen - welcome to the site. We are glad that you have found us. Please share some pictures with us as to your recent purchase. I have completed several Fords with my children and I am currently working on the fourth - a 1967 Ranchero for my daughter. All the best.

Welcome to the site Sharen!! Hopefully you'll post some pictures of your restoration!
Being a missionary has some good perks it looks like! I can't afford even one restoration!

It's called a lot of elbow grease on very low funds. I have less than $5,000 in all three previous rides total (purchase and rebuilding). And that has been over a period of ten years. The Ranchero ($300 purchase price) has been sitting for a year now though hopefully I will get with it soon.
Here is my son's 1971 Maverick. 1991 EFI 5.0, 5 speed.

Thanks for the welcomes!
We have run into some problems with the frame. They dont make aftermarket frame rails. We have recently found someone in our state that has some mustangs for parts. So im hoping that next weekend we can go and check them out and get something going here!!! Im getting the itch to get it going.. we got it before xmas and then ran into parts problems,, so its been on hold until we figured out what to do with it. So im hoping maybe before the end of summer she will be road ready!! wish us luck!

Sharen,
Are you looking for front or rear frame rails? I will have to do some thinking on this but there are some front and rear reproductions out there. Let us know what you need. Post some pictures if you can.
