<div>My name is James and I fix things for a living. I try my hardest to repair things that others may turn to scrap.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I recently started working for a new shop; we fix RVs in Battle Ground, WA, 45 minutes from Portland, OR.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In the back of the property, I found an abandoned Thunderbird! I just obtained the affidavit I need for titling and started working on reviving this old piece of history.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We have a <strong>1959 Hardtop Thunderbird with a 352FE and a 3-speed Cruise-o-matic transmission</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She spins over by hand, and I've started buying parts to get her to run again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The car will need massive amounts of rust remediation: floorboards, trunk, rocker panels, hood, and roof. Luckily, I know a pretty decent welder—me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Things like the windshield, glass for the doors, and dash cluster will have to be replaced.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>At the rate I'm going, a full restoration would be impossible. I had planned on doing a resto-mod to help with cost. <strong>That is where you could help make a difference.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As I get stuck on matters of skill or knowledge, I have a wonderful entourage of people I can fall on. From my former shop teacher (who worked on Thunderbirds exclusively for a time) to technicians and painters I've worked with, I have a great base of resources.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>However, financially, I will struggle to make things happen at a point very soon. I know I'm looking forward to seeing the progression on this project. <strong>Help me make that progress move at a rate enjoyable for all to see.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thanks for your time and consideration! Have a blessed day.
