For many years I’ve owned a pair of 1964 Lincoln Continental’s. Hawaii is unkind to classic cars and they fell into disrepair. So in mid-Feb I shipped them to San Diego to begin a complete 6mo restoration process. I'll update this thread periodically with pics of the process. 
In the meantime, I of course needed something to drive. In the the most amazing bit of luck, at about the same time I found one of my bucket list cars — my unicorn after searching for 20+ years. A fully customized 1950 Mercury, black with flames. It’s like a real-life hotwheel.
The Lincoln’s successfully made the long journey to the restoration shop where they’re fully inspected.
Dissasembly begins!
Removed litterally hundreds of pieces of chrome and sent everything off to be redone — like new ($$$). The amount of rust on both cars is quite severe, but knew that going in, and it’ll take a massive amount of metal work to repair.

Body work on the previously purple lincoln nearly complete. It’s getting exciting now! A week or two away from the paint shop.
