Up Up for sale is a 1963 Ford Galaxie XL 500 Ming Green Convertible that has had a complete frame off restoration. The original plan for this car was just to clean up the undercarriage, touch up the exterior paint, and clean up the engine compartment. However, the car had at least three coats of paint that was chipping off very easily, so the decision was made to give the car a frame off restoration. Once the body was stripped of all trim and interior components, it spent eighteen months on a rotisserie. The door braces were fabricated to keep the body as rigid as possible while on the rotisserie. The bottom was completely wire wheeled to remove any crud so that the underside could be blasted with a garnet blast media to prevent metal distress. The doors, inner fenders, deck lid, and hood were media blasted with plastic. All sheet metal repairs were completed, including the underside. The only new metal welded in, was along the passenger side inside rear quarter. Mounting brackets have been added for rear seat belts
