Hey guys, I've been browsing around on the site for a while now and am finally starting my project! My dad bought a 67 Acadian Canso (i6 powerglide 2 dr) from a friend down south a couple decades ago and soon after I came along so he never had the chance to work on it. For almost 20 years it's been waiting in my garage for a helping hand and I'm finally ready to start my first restoration. The car is in fair condition, some substantial rust especially throughout the floor pans but I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. Have a few mechanics in the family so there's no shortage of help. I'm a newbie so I may be posting some silly topics but hey you got to start somewhere! Here are a few pics of her, just about all pieces are accounted for down to the chrome.

Welcome here Alex, from another Acadian fan.

You will be amazed how much you will learn about Acadians when you start reading here!

Are you planning to do your own floor pan replacement? If so, I will get a link for you online that will be a big help for when you do it.
