My neighbor's new Ford

Yep, it's a ford, and this one's a beauty, at least it was and will be. He's an incredible guy, in his mid 70s, recently had a stroke, fell in his garage and broke his neck. Don't feel bad for him, just impressed. Doc told him he'd be seat ridden, multiple vertibre fused, 20 degree left/right movement. Fast forward a year, he's still using his jazzy, but gets up and uses stuff to glide from position to position. While working in his garage, he felt a severe pain in his neck again, but after the pain, he's now got 90 degree of movement....something broke free! Since the stroke, he's put a square body truck back on the road and now, he picked up this incredible car... a '54 crestliner skyliner hardtop. Coral with black roof. Seller loved this guy, so made him a super deal at $3500 for the car, rust free, all intact, enough aquired new parts to do half the restoration. Such a stunning car. I offered my services for free, anything to help get it back on the road sooner than later for obvious reasons. Here's an example of what it will look like.........


 
What a cool car to restore and what a car guy to not let a little thing like A Broken Neck or A Stroke! slow him down, 👍👍 to that guy
