    .....is a 63 Fairlane Station Wagon, yep, a wagon. Ford did not build a 2-door fairlane wagon in 63, 64, or 65, so I decided I would.

    Heres a before pic....

    Thanx for the comps guys!! I plan on the roof and below the fin line to be a medium blue metalic, called Bimini Blue, mid 90's ford color, and the center section will be Denim Blue , used on the 2012 VW Bugs, kinda a washed out dull light blue pastel. And right on the fin line will be 62 Fairlane 500 stainless trim with an insert on the fenders and doors and the very front of the quarters. I think this will look pretty classy. I like to straighten the stainless then buff it to a mirror finish, MMM, cant wait!!
