Hey there Blimp,
I think we have almost matching cars, aside the interior.
Mine has a Tan interior but you got the cool front seat ( split bench).
Mine is just the regular bench which is not so bad but I snagged a bucket/bench seat with armrest from a 69 sedan at Carlyse a few years back thinking I might put that in at some point. Not sure at this point.
My wagon has 360/AC/AT( fresh rebuild)/PB/ Rear ceiling mount AC and my rear window was busted when I got her. The trick with that was finding that unique rear glass as it has a little side tab that not all wagons used.Finally scored it last winter and she's ready to drive as of now. I'll post some pics.
Only thing I need now is a stock battery hold down, windshield washer fluid reservoir, spare tire wheel well and rear third seat floorpan as both of mine have a bit of rot.

The line of wagons at the FCBO show this year should be pretty extensive!
I've been spending a fair amount of time working on this old guy. Swapped on a good carb...
Cleaned some door panels...
Ended up pulling the fuel tank as I found out it's spotted with pinholes... @Xenon said he'd show me how to braze it up.

Replaced a leaky water pump...
Had to clean up the thermostat housing after breaking off both bolts...
Replaced some freeze plugs...
I've got a bunch more pictures and progress to share but I gotta run, I'll update more later

For your fuel tank, try these guys. They will clean, repair, and coat your tank inside and out, (the coating is not effected by today's fuel) and coat it. They did a great job on my 1966 300's tank. Moyer Fuel Tank Renu - antique gas tank repair restoration, classic car gas tanks GASTANK

And to think this car was going be derby fodder. Instead, she lives on. Very cool.

My tank was damaged, (one corner was caved in). They cut out the bad corner, sand blasted the tank inside and out, welded in a new corner, and coated the tank and the straps for $425.00. Since no one made a new tank for the 1966 at the time this was the only way to go. They did a wonderful job for me, and they will take the time to work with you. They also repair float assemblies.

Thanks for the kind words fellas...and @Xenon you've helped too, you gotta be the one of the smartest Mopar guys out there!
Such a beautiful day outside, sunny and in the 50's.
There were two sets of these sliders laying in the bottom of each front door, so replacing those are the 1st mission today.
