1962 Ford Falcon Deluxe Club Wagon

Here's a 1962 Ford Falcon Deluxe Club Wagon I recently picked up. Their body is in sold shape and she drives well; I drove her home some 60 miles, 55-,65 MPH and no problems. Only has the two bucket seats, empty in the rear but I'm planning on doing a little side paneling and a floor; one that's done she'll probably be up for sale.

Appreciate any suggestions as to where I can find some parts and any other "here's what to check" info.

Thanks

The previous owner did a 15 ft. paint job on the Falcon Deluxe, he said he simply wanted to protect her from the weather; not a bad job but not a "Show Room" job, it will do and does look fine to me.

Not sure why, but attempting to send some more pics and they appear to download but when I send, SEND, well just the text comes up ????????????

I think there is a 3 limit on a message,,,,,so try again......

OK, don't tear me apart too much but here's what I'm doing to the Deluxe.

As previously noted this was a "Father-Son" project and they (previous owners) did some (according to them) great work getting the van road ready and ready for whatever comes next.

The Good (minor tweaking may be needed):
* The interior floor was properly patched, welding could use some finishing (grinding, smoothing out",
* Engine was rebuilt according to the previous owners and runs as it may have been;
* Shifts good, little loose but my experience with "3-On-Da-Tree" shifters, well that's how they all were eventually;
* All windows glass intact, clear, open, and close well.
* Brakes stop, feel strong.
* New rubber - four tires.
* New dog dish wheel covers and beauty rings
* Has the entire interior plastic, upper window moldings
* Two front seats (supposedly original) not in bad shape
* Has the Deluxe Side Trim (bright work) that looks great
* Bumpers look great, chrome is clear and shiny

The (not really bad) but in need of repair:
* Horn doesn't work
* Heater blocked off (too the core) so heat isn't engaging
* Interior (in my mind) needs to be finished, too loud inside with everything exposed

So; here's where I may get some comments, good or bad; I wanted to as quickly and costly (little as possible) get the interior looking a little better, sound deadening, etc. The following pics will show some of my work, and what I have accomplished so far.

Once done, hopefully, in the next few weeks the van will be going to our last of the season, the local Dave & Eds Swap Meet, Canfield Fair Grounds, Canfield, Ohio.

Comments and suggestions are always appreciated and welcomed.
