Hello

[Luva65wagon]

Well guys, we're all in the same boat. I'm down to one Falcon from my peak of three (holding onto the 63 Ranchero) and am just finishing the build of a members 63 wagon (see thread elsewhere - I need badly to update). I've been sadly away from the forum here as I did this wagon build and now it is done (shy of starting it, which is coming up this Saturday the 29th, Oct 2022. At that point I will be moving back onto my Ranchero for a few more updates as I plan to make it more a daily than a yearly ride.

Anyway, welcome back and welcome here. The forum was built to handle some of the flow from TFFN to other places, but it seems Facebook (which I personally loath for project progress reports... there is none) has most people heading there. It works fine for "Hey, look at what I did" instant reactions, but if I want to show the entire duration of a build from A-Z, you loose the cohesive bit. Not sure what can be done for that.

Looking forward to seeing your cars.

Funny, much like you Facebook has no appeal to me also but that's probably partly due to my age. I will be lurking and probably not posting too much initially due to the massive challenge this particular project is. A year ago if someone had come along and said, I'll take that off your hands, it would have been gone. However, now that I'm back into it, it is fun in that this type of activity is in my blood. I do virtually every last thing and I'm slow because I'm too fussy and often I don't have a clue what I'm doing. Thankfully, we now have the internet and I long ago purchased the Ford parts books 60-64 and 65-72 and have the manuals etc.

Here is a pic of our 63 that is waiting for its engine install... many years.

I'm a little awkward posting here so I hope I'm not messing something up - feel free to clue me in if so.

That's awesome Jack. That dash reminds of one I just acquired. Planning to make a man-cave wall art piece from it.

And you seem to be handling the forum just fine from what I can see.

Would you happen to know if I'm in trouble here - it seems the 4 dr wagon rear doors are different than the sedan and I can't find any door seals anywhere.
