Wow, that is one lucky son you have. That is one fine looking 58 and it appears to be an easy start to finish restoration. No doubt before too long he will be getting plenty of attention on the road as well as at the local drive in or car show. I did something quite similar with my son, but he was 14 when we started. I purchased an abused 65 Falcon and together we put it back together and on the road by the time he got his drivers license. He drove that car through high school and beyond. We moved away some 500 miles and prior to departure I picked up a 68 model Falcon for a backup, parts source to keep his 65 on the road since I would no longer be close enough to help. I honestly figured someday he would sell or trade both cars but much to my excitement when he was in his early 20's he purchased a newer and more reliable Ford pickup but he kept the Falcons. Not much after that he moved and no longer had a place to store the extra vehicles so he called and asked if I wanted them both back. As you can imagine I said yes and we made a weekend trip to bring them both home again. We still have them both and now his little brother is next in line. The first picture is of the 65 on the trailer, we had spent the night in a campground before getting up early the next morning for the 500 mile trip home. The second picture is after arrival home, you can see the rather inventive way I got them both home in one trip. The third picture is of his little brother in the drivers seat waiting for his turn. Old cars just like old tractors, you gotta love 'em!

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
