I Went 'n Done It, Now!

Yeah, I know-this really seems to be a woman's field, now! Many of the entries in classic and antique car shows are owned and restored by women nowadays. It's just something I always wanted to do, and I couldn't pass this one up, not at the price the guy offered it to. I didn't think I'd be able to get it, but thanks to having maintained really good credit, I found out that I qualified for a dept consolidation loan which allowed me to pay off some other depts AND get the car, for far less of a monthly payment than I was already paying. I am going to inherit some money from my late grandmother's estate, once everything clears probate, which should be around February, and I plan to use that towards completing restoration. My dad's gonna flip out, since he's always frowned upon old car restoration, for some reason, and he HATES Fords, but I paid far less for this car than it's actually worth, so I won't have any trouble selling it if I do get into a bind, though I hope it won't come to that. It's drivable now, so I'm gonna have to get insurance and tags on it and everything, so that's a big plus there. Most "project cars" won't run or can't be driven for some major reason, so at least this isn't one of those. The engine and transmission are in good shape, and those are the two biggest concerns with any old car.
