Welcome to the site, we do like pictures. My advice is to make a list of the specific parts you need and start a parts wanted classified thread.

Welcome! I too own a 64 F85 deluxe. Body parts are hard to find. I had a hood issue similar to yours. I couldn’t find a good hood but I found a hood scoop at summit racing that covered the hole that was cut in my hood, looks ok for now. Good luck with your parts search. Patience will be needed.

64's are tough, wheel opening trim is just about impossible to find, the aluminum did not hold up well and was soft along with other trim. Bumpers should not be too hard to find but will most likely need rechrome.. 64 hoods were prone to rot like others on the front lip. You have your work cut out for you.

I actually have all the chrome but plan on deleting Chrome to just bumpers.
