  • Anyone ever do a sedan delivery Festiva?

    I'm thinking it would look cool.

    It would be unique and look cool. I like being able to see all around, which is another reason I prefer the Festiva over the Metro...tall glass and headroom.

    I do like the style of a sedan delivery, though. There's a Chevy HHR delivery style running around here. It looks boss.

    Hey Larry, could you direct me to a pic of your '63 Fairlane, one that shows the griill?

    Also, my mom's driving a Windstar an '03. Should I be expecting trouble from it?

      I'm quite seriously thinking about swapping the hatch glass and rear 1/4 windows for tins. I've got to find someone to weld them in, though. I don't want to glass such a large area.

      Although someone recently offered me a large sheet of lexan for the 1/4 windows. I can't decide whether or not I want to put lexan in it.

        I don't know if I have a pic with the grille in. Do you just need a grille pic?

                Howdy good neighbor!

                My ideas about why Catstiva wasn't running right were all 'stabs in the dark'.

                I'm having a few probs with mine right now.

                How's Cat running?

                      All I need to know is this a '62 or a '63? It's a loaded question for me, so if it's not a '62, break the news to me easy

                            ICPstiva did the delivery van mod to his Festiva. He said there were two things he noticed immediately; first being that the lack of rear windows create blind spots that you can hide a semi truck in, and the second being that the stock Festiva mirrors in no way compensate for that.
