Welp she runs good, almost everything works, but planning on a full restoration. The body parts will be blasted, Im prob going to card the rust off the frame and use a rust converter. Im thinkin the first thing is to drop the pan and see how the crank is, dont want to bust into the motor after the fact.
Any suggestions on restoration books?

I have used a product called Jasco Prep that converts rust nicely. Best of all, you can buy it at Lowes.

Yup, used the hell out of Jasco rust prep on my 55 Willy's, converts rust to carbon I think?

I used the Jim Schild book for rebuilding my motor, plus following website leads from Fordbarn postings. Santa just gave me Vols 1 & 2 of the Les Andrews books that are highly recommended. Joining your local club and getting members' help is extremely valuable. The Judging Standards help you, even if you are not making a fine point car. The Service Bulletins help, too.

Nice project, I recomend the Les Andrews volumes 1&2 to get started,

Good Luck with your project
