Mom,apple pie and my f85!!!(not always in that order)

I like to think my baby looks like the day she came off the factory line in lansing. Except the plant manager said wait let's put some hot chrome rims on her and some flake in the paint then ship her out! Oh yeah and flowmasters

65f85..Thanks. Everytime I see a gorgeous '65 like yours, it gives me the inspiration I need to get off my butt and get to work on mine. It still needs to get to the body shop, have the engine rebuilt, frame blasted, etc., etc.....you get the picture. Your interior looks like a dream. Good work. Keep the pics coming.

My first classic was a 1969 amc rebel sst 2dr(fun car) but now that I have a Olds there's no looking back
A gentleman by the name of Roy in katy tx. Did most of the resto.(Royztoyz) . She made her way to california via one other owner where I found her(march 2008)photos of the resto used to be on cardomain.com. Now I've done a lot of work this year/ motor mounts,end links, sway bushings,bearings,master cylinder,bled brakes,fixed heater,u joints. Future plans for now are to keep cruising, racing mustangs and enjoying my nice matching#'s daily driver. This winter I want to box the rear end and put in a rear sway bar/ headers/comp cam/
