The Dogfather got a "Weallgo"

Hey folks

Let me start out by saying I hate typing all this Twice..

My Name is Edward and I'm a Retired Army Medic! Spent 25 Years Serving My Country, Now I'm Voulenteering at My Local Street Rod Customizing Shop, trying to find my Nitch.

Now that I got that to post let me finish!

I'm into Mudding, Offroading... I have 2 Suzuki samurai's and I'm into Mini Trucks I'm building a 1976 Toyota Hilux 4 inch Body Drop, Custom rear half frame under air suspention I will be Laying Door upon Completion. Helping My Wife Build a 1978 Chev Luv, My Son has a 1991 Mazda Bagged laying Frame..

I Started Voulenteering at Winning Attraction Street Rod Shop to Help Tonna Carlo ( She was on Discovery Channels Monster Garage, Suburban Chapel Show) So I could Learn more about Hot rods and Restoration.

I just Aquired a 1965 Ford Fairlane Wagon







The Body is in Great Shape



It runs Great...



Came with a complete Upholstry Kit Burgandy and Tan! ... Not going to be using that.. Tonna does wounders with Upholstry


and am starting my Due Dilligance to find/learn more about these Monsters...

There just isn't allot of info on the 1965 Wagons....

 

Nice Fairlane. Keep us posted on the progress.

 

Nice Fairlane. Is that stick from the factory?
Welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome ..... nice find. Im thinking suede black with red rims!

 

Welcome, thanks for your service to our country. I had a samurai I sold a couple years back, best thing I found for mudding yet if I ever get my wagon on the road may do another suzuki project any how nice wagon and welcome!

 

Hey Ed!

Welcome to the forum! I too am a minitrucker from way back, but my love for wagons brought me full circle to the wagon I have now. I have built it in a very minitruck style. Full hydros front and rear, 19" billet wheels with 40 series rubber. Lays subframe and won't budge when it's laid out. Tucking lugs in the rear and ticket grabbing tint. Had a 4" body dropped D-50 with a monster notched, bagged and boxed back half on a chrome 4 link, so I know where you're coming from. Let me welcome you and say that wagons can be just as much fun and can turn just as many heads if you build them right.

 

Dogfather, nice intro, great pics...enjoy all the forum has to offer.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome folks... I will definitly let you all know how it goes..

 

Very cool! Also curious if that's a factory manual.

 

Howdy,
I thought Snoop Dog joined up then noticed you only use one "G" in "Dogfather".
Is that a reflection or is there a sticker on the front bumper that says "Mammals Suc"?
Was the previous owner a radical speciesist invertebrate?

'65 is an oddball year, everybody wants the '64 and '66 Fairlanes.
My neighbor just sold his black '65 two door after about four years of trying.
My '68 GTO was the same way when I bought it 17 years ago, things are a lot better now.

 

ha ha ha ha You Guys are some Funny Lot!

Shifter I bet it's not Factory... I just got it Thursday Night....(My Friday) so have not really looked Hard at it.

And DogFather was a Name Given to my By Members of My Offroad Club, Due to the Fact it's Dog Pound Offroad and I look over everyone to ensure they Get Home..

Have to keep the Fleas off My Puppies...

 

Dude I Thought you was being a Smart ass till I re read your Post there is a Bumper sticker that says Mammals suc and it's backwors so the little cars can see it in the rear view... OMG I never laughed so Hard....

How about that Learn somethibng every day about your own Car..

I did not pay attention to what it said I just scanned ...Sticker.. ok move on...

 

Welcome fellow Fairlane wagon owner! I picked mine up this year as well. Are you going to give it the full hot rod treatment?

 

Welcome Dog, look forward to hearing abt your project. Thanks for serving!

 

Welcome from sunny FL... Great wagon, and a stick shift to boot!
