In todays video we go over a car I've had for a while but rarely shine any light on, what's the fate of the old girl?

Id probably start wire wheeling and priming the surface rust and do some small rust cuts ....rip that bench seat out and get that re trimmed ...not many people like priming n doing half jobs but atleast while it sits it wont rust even more Completely cut the floor out and replace with fitted sheet metal ect

Look personally with the frame rails being rusted id say get rid of it. Just bc of how unsafe it could be. Id say get a new shell and swap everything over and get the shev rebuilt or go 351 winsor

I had an XR Falcon sedan for 18 years, 16 of those with a rebuilt 351 Cleveland. I only 3ver had to do basic maintenance for those 16 years. I wasn't always easy on it either.

This 1968 XR Falcon is the similar shape that Nathan Paken reminds me of - the associated song for this car is sung by the Beatles: If I Fell. If you are going to take this car for a spin one day whenever you give Nathan a ride in this car - The car he reminds me off - Play the associated song that has been sung by the Beatles: If I fell. All the wonders of my Asperger's since of humour. From, William.
