    Welcome aboard. When you get rolling on your wagon project, start a build thread. We love to see a wagon resurrected.

    Welcome aboard!
    The beauty of the Fairmont wagon is, that it's considered a Foxbody car, which means you can use donor parts from a 5.0 Mustang...and as you said, build the ultimate sleeper.
