+1 with Joe!  Especially the '61 Starliners.  The good ones are few and far between and expen$ive!  Looking forward to seeing the build Royce.

Nice score. I just got back into FE's last year for the about the same reason. Ran across one last year at the Run to the Sun show in Lk. Havasu. Car looked bone stock but had a built 427 in it. After looking it over and talking with the owner I was hooked. Searched a while for one that I could afford and finally found one. Good starting point with a 406, 3x2's and toploader and its rust free but has a lot of ugly and wtf repairs done to it. Plan is to return it to close to stock as I can. Slowly getting there.

HAMB came thru again. I don't really like the look.
Seems that the tail fins detract from the smooth roof line.

Hmmm .... roof needs to be shorter or trunk longer.. Might look better on a Fairlane than a Custom..
