Prologue

This is 'The Beast'.  She is a 1972 Ford LTD Brougham with a 429 Big Block inside.  I think I am the 3rd owner?   She has a tow hitch.  Her original steering wheel and column are no where to be found.  The coil is powered by the accessory post.  You can start her while she is in 'Drive'.    She has bucket seats.  I have no idea what is original and what isn't.   

This is me.  Until the day I bought this thing in late 2012, the most I've ever done to a car was change the oil.  Now I'm knee deep into my first engine rebuild.

From here on out, I will document my [many] mistakes and triumphs as I rebuild this ugly boat back to its former glory.  Or whatever vision I end up having for it.

I will also be posting flashbacks as to what I've already done to the car, both on purpose and on accident.  Like the blog states; I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm learning! 

So stay tuned!
