Nice! I own a 67 Country Squire. Im a big fan of the 65-68 Ford Galaxie wagons. Well, I like the Fairlane and Falcon wagons too, I'm not biased. LOL Prepare to be patient when looking for repair and replacement parts, they can be tough to find depending on what you are looking for.
Can I recommend that you put on a mask when working where there are suspected rodent droppings. I did when I was attacking a 67 RW. Hantavirus is not pretty. Good luck with the fun!
I'll be honest and say if you're talking about the one in my avatar to the left....thats not mine =) I stole that pic from the internet, simply due to its bad@ssery. Its my motivation too. I do believe the one in my avatar is a 66...lol
