    Nathan, the guy I got my trim from down in Longview has everything you need. And I do mean everything. He has at least three wagons down there right now that are complete. I'm sure I saw at least two of those spare tire covers you speak of plus any other do dad you need. When I get to work this am I will post up his info. He does ship most of the parts but if there is anything he won't ship, we will get it picked up and at least get it to Seattle so it can start making its way over to you.
    His name is Steve Averre (Avery) and be ready he can talk more than I can.

    Man, that sure looks like a sweet wagon! I hope I get to see it in person some day.

    If anyone is looking for parts call this guy:

    Steve Averre 1-360-430-0143

    He has several parts cars and tons of stuff. ( just not a 61 bumper braket) tell him you spoke with me and I'm sure he'll have 99% of what you need and very reasonable on his pricing.

    I thought I saw a blue wagon out there with the squire trim. Not positive on that however.

    Steve,

    Is he expecting my call or am I cold calling?

    I'll call on Friday when I have time to gab.

    I removed the fuel pump and cleaned it up. Its an older ac Delco pump.. its at least stamped ac.. has a part number and the old FOMOCO spin on filter canister. I'm cleaning the canister with wd40 and its removing the dirt and leaving the paint.

    I took the pump a part and I'm going to look into getting a rebuild kit for it.

    The coil is an original mustard top and if it tests good, I'll clean it up and use it too. I'm hoping to find a fomoco stamp or something under the dirt.

    I found an NOS head gasket. I think it would be cool to rebuild the engine with the steel shim head gasket.

    Got home from work today and the right front tire was flat..
    guess I need to order those tires.. I wanted to wait till the car was drive able.
    I'll see if I can locate the leak and get it fixed.

    Unfortunately I don't have time to work on it, till Friday..

    I got 12 minutes to my bedtime. Better go search craigslist for parts.

    Nathan it's a cold call but if you want I can call him tomorrow and give him a heads up. He does this to supplement his retirement so he gets calls from people all day, so nothing new to him. Just tell him I told you to call him. I have about 30 of his business cards up here and I told him I was going to pass them out to the club so he's ready for some calls.

    Steve,

    I'll call just thought I'd check before getting us into hot water.

    Anybody see the 63 grill on ebay for $1100?

    too rich for my blood... that's almost what I paid for the car...

    I'll hit him up for a spare tire cover for sure. If he has a squire I'll see if he has some trim pieces and maybe a passenger fender.

    Well I gotta get to bed.. struck out on craigslist..

    Tested the coil today.

    It works well enough to run the sprint. Which has two extra cylinders

    So I cleaned it and under all the dirt I found this .

    reviving your trim

    Hi Nathan, my name is Jeff and Tony told me I was 3rd or 4th in line for that car. I'm glad that it went to someone who appreciates what it is.

    I thought I'd share with you an article, on the chance you hadn't seen it. It is about one way to revive that Squire trim. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Good luck with your "new" Squire.

    Bill,

    The whole car is a while I'm at it.
    Its been 8 years since I've done this big of a project.
    This is a whole new project as I plan on a correct numbers matching restore.

    Jeff,

    Bookmarked the web page for future reference.
