This is a daily diary of my restoration of a 1965 Galaxie 500 Convertible.

Frame is finished!
The frame is now finished! Ready to tackle the rear. I have attached some before and after pictures. First pictures were taken back in October when I first took the body off the frame.
Hi, i just found this blog while looking for body to frame mount bolts for my 65 Mercury Park lane convertible..love the work you've done so far! I have all new rubber mounts but most of the old bolts got the heads cutoff during removal, haha, as you have noticed with yours! I'm looking for the captive nuts that sit in the main long section of the frame, but i noticed last night that some of the bolts are smaller at the bottom than the top! Thanks Ford!
I understand your frustration with this. I have not purchased any bolts yet, but I understand from http://www.fordmuscleforums.com/ that there may be other alternatives that will fit. I will let you know what I find. I am probably going to purchase them this week.
