63 Fairlane facelift! Hood and tailgate teasers!

In for the progress!

 

You don't see many of the 63 Fairlane wagons around. I think they are a great platform for some mild customization. Post up pics of your progress.

 

Its at my friends shop, as soon as he gets it closer to paint I will try to get some pics.

 

Progress pics from the paint shop! Fenders are getting the holes welded up and the Top is being d-waved, Then those Quarters and should be getting close!

 

Love it. I remember sitting on the school steps back in the early 70's and a beat up peacock blue version of your car drove by. I said it would make a cool rod. My friends thought I was insane. Glad to see the insanity continuing...

 

The tail gate center looks funny, it should have more ribs and dips for the rear trim, either the center was filled, or bondo'd in.

 

It had trim, it getting a sunburst panel after some blocking

 

Another build of yours for me to follow. I also have a 63 wagon, a Squire. Currently working a mild custom 56 Pontiac hardtop. Similar tastes I guess lol

 

Learned to drive in one of those- a black w/wood trim on the sides, red interior. Started out putting it in the garage and/or backing it out for my mother after she took the side
mirror off the second time. I was 10 or 11 when I started parking that thing for Mom.

 

If you guys need parts for the fairlane wagons, i can pm you a contact number for a couple parting one out at decent prices.

Thanks! Just this and the 55 Pontiac

 

I didn't pick you as a flowery lace kinda guy!! hahaha Looks awesome, the next step will make it pop even more!!!

 

Here are some more with clear, quite a bit of flake in the silver and HOC green, should pop more in the sun. Bottom half of the car next base the 05 Mustang green with silver scallops and another lace panel on the hood, I think, its evolving!

 

Im jealous, badass car man!

 

Thanks, can't wait to get it home and finish getting it ready for the Roundup!

 

Can't wait to see it done and outside. Very cool grocery getter.....

 

Thanks, I too can't wait but the body is getting lots of custom work as well so it will be a little while

 

that my friend is just about as nice as it gets!

 

Thanks, the body is getting base coat today and then more custom paint!

 

Base didn't happen Saturday, rain and cold. 80 degrees today, its happenin today!

 

Nice wagon but Im bias.

 

Will hopefully have pics later today, base is on and laying out scallops and panels today. Been great weather last couple of days here!

 

Good luck, I'm staying tuned, as I just bought a '63 Mercury Meteor...they're siblings. Can't wait for updates.
