    That come up awesome great work buddy . I had an XB Hardtop 5.8 / c10 auto , black in color back in the 90s . And the rust you had was pretty much the same i had to repair a little less . Mine too had a vinyl roof that had been remove prior to my purchase . I paid 1100 bucks and after clean up sold for 4500 bucks which back in the 90s was upper range price for these awesome machines . Do i regret selling it ? F--- yes .

    My Dad and Mum had the Falcon in this model and we loved it as Kids. In the day before compulsory seat belts we used to take turns in laying on the back window ledge! It was a great towing car and has many fond memories. This car looks gr8 mate.

    Well done. I stripped down my XB-GT coupe 10 years ago and hope to get back to it this winter. I'm interested to see where all the bits go back to. I've got nothing to reference it to here in NYC but I'm sure I'll get it back together with the help of guys like you who are posting their work. Thanks and God bless.

      Thanks for watching and your kind words. Hoping to get another part posted soon, Covid Lockdowns are slowing the progress a little bit though. Let me know if you have any questions as to where bits go as this car has been apart for about 5 years too...

    Awesome build so far. Aaahhhh rust. The more u dig the more u find. It is a bit like an iceberg. 1/8th above. The rest below. Love that blue. XA XB XC Hardtops rule.

    • @machbadger1509

      Thanks for your comments. The rust repairs were pretty epic and this was one of the better shells. I think Apollo Blue really was one of Ford’s better colours.

    Dare I ask what it all set you back? I have a 351 GS Coupe in my shed requiring a rebuild, tempting to sell it and buy something already done. I should qualify, I mean paint an panel.

    Arches and sills are nothing on a car that's nearly 50 years old.
