Strange, it looks bowed in the middle, where the front clip meets the firewall.


I have a worse story than that, makes me ill just thinking about it. There's a small furniture factory local here and the owner's son is a 30-something spoiled brat that always has a bunch of projects going on and never finishes them. I guess daddy just throws money at him. Anyways he has a 66 fairlane 2 door hardtop that he completely disassembled, stored all of the trim, interior, glass, doors, etc in one of the company's warehouses, and he replaced the floorboards, sanded, primed, and prepped the whole car to be painted. At the drop of a hat he lost interest in the car, and started working on a 4 wheel drive he became fascinated with (for now). The fairlane has been sitting behind the factory under some trees now for about 2 years unders some trees, with those new floorboards filling up with leaves and water. I went and looked at it last year because he was only wanting $1,500 for it, but he had parts strowed EVERYWHERE, I didn't want to fool with putting it all back together.

I bought a 66 wagon parts car years ago and it was bowed like this one in the middle and when I finished stripping out the parts I wanted the car actually broke in half at the cowl when the junk man tried to lift it with his wrecker . The front frame rails just pulled out from under the car along with the front clip. Question Shocked
