    Howdy yall!!!
    My name is Danny and I live in Lewiston Michigan. I have been into old cars (primarily Fords) most of my life. I own and operate an Upholstery shop called Dandrey Customs where I create custom auto interiors. For the last few years I have had to be satisified with working on alot of really cool cars that belonged to other people. But yesterday I became the proud owner of a 1968 Ford Country Squire wagon. It is a 390 C6 car with factory air, power seat, 3.25 locker and 10 passenger option. It looks to have 59K original miles on it but I can't be positive. Being a Michigan car it does have some rust, but for the most part it is a real solid project. At some point in its life someone backed it up too close to a bonfire and really toasted the rear gate. That along with the usual rust has me searching for a new one. The taillights completely melted, but someone already replaced those. I am also looking for the spare tire cover as mine is missing.
    Well, I guess that is about all for now......

    Throw another woody on the fire? :rofl:
    Sounds like a pretty cool wagon. Welcome aboard and good luck finding your replacement tailgate. Hopefully some of the Ford guys here will be able to point you in the right direction.
