WE PICKUP A SPECIAL NEW PROJECT (A 1957 FORD RANCHERO)

When we were visiting my parents and picking up their Lincoln to bring back. We got a chance to see my dads 1957 Ford Ranchero that he's restoring for the last couple years. My dad is a combat wounded Marine veteran that is still carrying around shrapnel in his body from when he was wounded in Vietnam. Around the time my dad started this restoration/build, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease which is connected to his exposure to Agent Orange while in Vietnam.
Due to the Parkinson's, it became to dangerous for my dad to continue to work in the garage on his Ranchero. So after moving to Boise ID, they contracted out the finishing of the Ranchero to a gentlemen in Idaho. Unfortunately after taking quite a bit of their money, the car wasn't finished and they dropped it off at their garage.
There's numerous things not finished with the car that I'll go more into in a future video. But we talked it over with my parents and they agreed to let us bring it back to our shop to try and finish the car so they can enjoy it.
