Picked up a basket case wagon with plans Ty get it on the road in about two years. It’s at the body shop now. Glad I found this site, lots of good info here. Should be interesting. I thought I posted a pic but it’s not showing up. I’ll get some pics up. thanks in advance for all the info here. Zach
Welcome from the Pacific Northwest! you have a great body style wagon there! what are your plans? a stock restoration? or restomod? what color? and we love pictures!
Right now the plans are pretty intense. The car is a shell right now and at my friends body shop. He works wonders with old cars so I am hopeful he can get it together. I have most all the body parts I need and what I dont have he can fix/make. I just need to find a tailgate... My other good friend is a chassis builder and he is going to graph and 03-11 crown vic front end to it. I want good brakes, power steering, etc. I need to measure the track width but from rough measurements we are confident it will fit. If not, he will just make something himself. I already have a 5.0 coyote and all the swap pulleys/harnesses I need so it is basically just a waiting game until I get the car back. My background is late model muscle cars, I just sold my Z06, but it is hard to fit a family of 4 in those cars, so I got drawn to the wagons. I love the sharp hard lines of the 65 galaxie wagons. Hopefully soon I will have a thread up in the project section. Until then here are some pics of the "wagon".
Welcome aboard! Sounds like an awesome build. I'm looking forward to following this as it goes along. If you'd like, you can start a build thread here: http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/forums/station-wagon-projects.32/
