Hello all, Yes. It’s been awhile. Just wanted to update you all on the Ranchwagon project. Nothing has changed. I haven’t done anything with it in over 3 years. I’ve been involved in a major home renovation, starting with a complete Foundation under my 120 year old home! It’s been a back and forth struggle to get the house up to snuff. If you’ve ever seen the movie Money Pit, then you’ll know what my wife and I are dealing with. If you think restoring a car can drive you nuts, try doing it to a house, with a wife, and pets while you are all still living in it.
Then in the midst of the house renovation , my wife and I were blessed to find out we were going to have a baby! He’s a healthy 10 week old now. He truly is a gift from God. But that’s another story.
So the car sits. Waiting for life to calm down a bit. But I’ll be back to it this summer and hopefully get to putting floor pans and inner and outer rockers installed. That should be a hoot.
Awesome check in! Congrats on the baby.
I’m currently working on a 1958 Edsel and your front end rebuild photos have helped me rebuilding my front end. Look forward to future updates.
Great to see you back, life happens and its probably good that it does. On Feb 22, 2016 1:21 PM, “Ranchwagons Blog” wrote:

I can definitely relate, especially that scene from The Money Pit. Found out a couple of months ago that my upstairs toilet is sitting on 1 inch of crumbling, unsupported 94-year-old concrete. So while my 352 Ford sits torn down to the block, I’m ripping the ceiling out of my kitchen so my wife or I don’t end up down there from a visit to the powder room. I also found out that the said, supposedly well preserved, engine was seized in every conceivable manner.
