My '64 Travel Wagon with its new falcon interior

Matt was looking for some pics and I also realized that Tim and Fred have not seen pictures of this since it was done. got the T-wagon a few years ago in CT and then bought the interior bits from Tim last year. Fred schlepped them back from Carlisle and then helped me (showed me) where it all went last summer/fall. Over the winter I took an auto paint class at the local voc-tech and cleaned up and painted interior falcon moulding and tried to get it the same color as the van. I missed, but I'll have to learn how to match paint later.

Hope you can see and then enjoy the pics. This summers project is to shine up the pop-top aluminum. Using gord's polish now, but this may take a while...

Love those pics Mike...two questions: Where did you get those West Coast mirrors and what kind are they? Also, how is that canopy rigged up? Is it on a roller on the roof of the inside of the van just inside the doors? Or is it something that you unfold and just snap onto the outside of the van?

I added this pic to the album to show how the "add-a-room" fastens to the truck. On the canopy there is a hard edge to it that slips into this channel that is fastened just above the roof like. Also, there are side walls that snap on to the canopy to make this whole thing a tent. it's pretty intense.

The west coast mirrors were on it when I got it. It looks like someone used body filler on the backs of them or something. So they don't look like regular west coasts on the back, and are starting to bubble/rust etc. they'll need a re-do in a couple years.

Lookin' good Mike!

Wow, I really want those interior side panels!

Most of those stock panels didn't make it over the years , great looking stock interior

Sweet interior Mike! Ha-ha. It sure does make a difference doesnt it. I ve got another set just like it coming to Carlisle this year for a guy in Pa.
