Will you guys be doing your own work? Have you done a full restoration before? Have you owned a first gen F body before?

That's a former vinyl top car, and shows evidence of needing extensive window channel work on top of the obvious.

I admire your willingness to tackle such a major project. It sounds like the time vs budget issue won't be too bad as you're not dealing with a set figure. And that's good, because this project looks like one done out of passion, not practicality.
