I am currently in the process of converting a 64 Fairlane wagon into a 2 door like Ford should have done back in 1964. The yellow wagon pictured below was in a Popular Hot Rodding Magazine in the early 90's and I have been thinking building one every since then. I am glad to see so many great wagons on this website. There is some really great work is going on! I am going the Pro Touring route on this build so I can drive long distances. I already have a 2 door sedan pro street car that is completed (well, they are never done). The wagon will be powered by a Ford Racing 351 Windsor crate motor with 385 hp and a modified AOD trans. The rear is a Track 9 with Versailles disk brakes. A Rod & Custom Mustang II front suspension with coil overs (or maybe varishock)is on the way. This wagon will have a Sport Coupe theme. I will be using a 65 Sport Coupe automatic console with the factory floor shifter. Thanks do David Perry for helping me find a nice rust free tailgate as well as a pair of NOS lights with back up lights. Thanks to Jason Fields as well for his early advice and willingness to assist.
Does anybody know where to get new rubber for the large rear glass? I understand that many manufacturers in the 60's used the same rubber so I am willing to improvise. I would also like to buy a set of 64 Sport Coupe bucket seats. I will be using sport Coupe door panels as well.
Randy "Lil Newt" Warriner of Lake Elsinore, CA is performing the surgery on the wagon. He performed a bunch of the metal work on my Pro Street Fairlane and can do wonderful things to metal. He has already replaced the floors and has both Sedan doors installed. He is now working on the rear tubs which you can see below.
