You must have some meaningful dreams or your grandchildren want you to have sweet dreams.

 

Thanks Mr. NORM

If I had that " My-FAIR-LADY" of your's parked under my bed-I could quote this line from WAGONSPHIRE third act second scene [ Parting brings such sweet sorrow-So till it be MORROW> good night FAIRMOUNT!!

 

Thou shalt never Mount this Fair Squire!

 

Thou art a MEAN MAN-with a sweet WAGON!!!!!

I have been lookin over tha FORUM, and am delighted for all of your efforts to keep this place the JOY. That it is' know that your labor of love is not in VAIN! There are those of us WAGON TRAINERS out here in wagon land who SALUTE you!!!!-----------Now give me that wagon before "I get MAD! and you don't want to make a STRIPPER mad--NOOOOORman!

 

Thanks for the compliments. I was thinking about a name for my wagon, about a month ago. My car was built in Zacatecas, Mexico in late 1978. Ford usually tries to use up any parts they can before they start on the new inventory, so mine got all kinds of extras that aren't even in the books. I bought the car from the original owner's daughter, herself in her late 50's, back in 1997. I have a Dana rearend, hooped headliner - not cardboard, extra insulation and undercoating (they do this on most Mexican Fords with AC to keep the cold IN.), etc. etc.

Then I started adding Mustang parts (Full stock Gauge instrument panel) Capri Parts (full floor console with the floor-mounted Shifter and e-brake), then a 1982 Zephyr interior, then changed to a 1984 LTD Marquis chocolate velours interior), and all for decent costs.

Now, because its all 100% Fox parts, with a Mexican heritage, I thought about calling it a Zorro IV, or a FairStang, or... an A-Ford-able. So in one sense, you're already in the car.

 

ZORO! is the way to GO!

I would love to see full pics of it. Please direct me to PICS, or post some. Thanks!

 

Just re-read your post. The guy that I salute is our Wagonmaster, forum owner, Stefan. He puts up with me, and my zillion requests for more pic space.

I'm just another member with too much to remember, so I use this as my daily diary.

 

You got it! Let me explain why I'm so verbose. Our Auto insurance in my Province does allow people to appeal their insurance claims if they have documented proof of work done. You and I and everyone here, knows how much time it can take to diagnose, identify the parts, find them and repair, restore and install them. Government bureaucrats like documentation. Well, I just send them to my links here. So far, I haven't had to do that. I mean I figure its worth a million to me, but they might argue something closer to earth.

This Roller Painting thread doesn't get into too many pictures for quite a few pages - page 18 or so:
