I have to many T bird

Hi everyone,  I know i have been away for way to long. But what can i say i have been way to busy off line. 
But i just picked up a 84 5L T bird to add to the list as daily driver.

SO here is my $500 beater.

Body is great




Inside is very clean


And my baby my 85 BB460 T bird.
She is showing her age and needs a little  TLC



My drive way is starting to look like a Thunder meet.

I dont get it... Whats the problem?

Only Issues I see is that it is time to start spreading gravel over the lawn, and there is one of those pesky stangs trying to sneak in to the mix.

Looks nice! That would be a $500 car here as well. Figured it would be worth way more up there (like $1500-$2000), considering  near everything up there older than 10-15yrs old is royally rusted out.

Give that Black Bird some love already! Looks like it's about ready to fall apart from the rust.

The Big Block car needs body work but its not that bad.  I have alot of stuff done that u cant see by just looking at the car. 
The car is tubbed with ladder bar 9inch out back and custom tube K member with QA1's up front. 
But the car was driven 3 winters as it is and only sat outside this winter.

This will be 1st summer that i will not have this car out in 7 years and plan to strip this car down to nothing and put it back together again with a few more changes.
My main goal is body and cage done once and for all. Then rebuild drive line. I pulled axles out to find splines are knife edging to point i feel its not safe to run car on the track.
Plus with doing cage and body this would be a great time to freshen up motor and tranny wile its out.
