First Restore Ever..66 Ford Galaxie 500

[WinterT]

Hi everybody, names Winter. New to the forum and new to car restoration in general. I just bought a 66 Ford Galaxie 500 4dr. Its not in bad shape for its age but needs some love regardless. It ran in Jan but since I don’t have a key I can’t confirm if it does now. I plan on just doing a simple restore nothing too crazy. New interior, paint job, little engine work, and minor body work planned. I am completely open to any advice or recommendations on how to go forward with the project since this will be my first restore.

The only thing I managed to do was clean out the interior so far but I’m pleased that I did something lol

The only real problem I have right now is the choice of having a new key made so I can keep the original ignition , to have that and all the locks replaced, or to somehow pull the ignition to find the key code to have another made.
