Gary Wild and his wife are driving forces behind the sucess of our local CTCI affliate, Classic Birds of Paradise. He is a wonderful guy, and my wife, MIa, simply adores him. YOUR THUNDERBIRDS are simply perfect, and I appreciate just how much you know about the restoration of these fine classic cars.

If I had larger than a normal 2-car garage, I'd sure move in a couple of beauties like yours. Two of the most sought-after and special colors, and truly wonderfully restored cars. Please enjoy my '55, perhaps as much as I appreciate your cars. Jobs well done, and Aloha from Hawaii.P.G.F.

Beautiful job and great looking photos of the process. I am Doing a Frame off myself, on a 1969 Galaxie convertible. Could you tell me a place I can find body to frame bushings? I can't seem to find Ford body bushings anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2362179
