1967 Ford Squire wagon restoration

Did that Tar thing come out right or useable? It's your firewall sound-proofing. Also, I don't remember if your year came with the floor soundproofing but it's a good addition. My 1979 had AC, with extra insulation, factory undercoating, and that floor material. The AC doesn't work as hard, the road noise and engine noise are really cut down too.

A bit pricey ($6.00/sq ft) but there are more expensive. Paintable too.

I got these. You can use a hair-dryer to form them into the curves and dips:

Doc,Sorry to hear the wagon wasn't the way it was represented the way it was listed in the ad.

 

Half the fun is detective work, RK. There's a pony in there somewhere.

 

she will fly again, keep at it !

 

CMPRSD's is all the inspiration you need Doc!!
glad to see you stuck with it...was thinkin about you the other day,,,wonderin?

 

CMPRSD's wagon is definitely a huge inspiration. I love it! Thanks for all the votes of support and confidence. The wagon will ride again!

I'll bet CMPRSD's wagon moves out smartly with that 390! You're right that color is very nice with the woodgrain.

 

The man has excellent taste!

 

Yeah, the emblems say 390. The factory belched it out with a 390-2V, but the last owner saw to put a 428 with some CJ parts and a 427 Interceptor intake and correct-spec Holley. It indeed moves out smartly. Scares the kids. ha

And a hat-tip to the nice words on the look. You will LOVE when yours is done!

 

It's still too cold to do much, but I look at every morning from the back window, and it barely has any evidence that all our snow ever touched it. I did a good wax job! Can't wait to get it done!

 

Finally was able to get the Squire out of my garage and over to the body shop for some final disassembly. They are removing the trim that I was unable to get off myself. Specifically the windshield and side rear windows as well as the trim along the roof drip rail. They were not hopeful they could save the chrome strip but we will see.

I am guessing it should be on its way to soda blasting within the week then we will see what we are dealing with.

I will post some more pics when I get to the shop.

 

Doc...go find some Oooold body guy....he'll recall how to take the trim off without buggerin it!!
as opposed to finding a "stainless" guy to fix it later

 

The wagon made its way to the body shop where they were able to successfully remove 99% of the trim, Ac evaporator, and glass. Also we found no other rust or surprises.

From there, we transported the wagon to media blast where they are going to soda blast the entire car including the underside.

After that it will be painted in epoxy primer.

We have also decided to replace the dry rotted frame/body mounts since I have a severe case of... "you might as well do this..do that while your at it!"

It appears to be going well. The last major issue will be finding how thick or thin the roof and hood metal is.

I will get some pics once its in epoxy primer.

In the meantime, I have been busy at home using my blasting cabinet cleaning various underhood parts and repainting them black. Also degreasing the remnants of the engine and misc. parts.
