Welcome to CO Jim. You will find lots of helpful people on here. Any parts you need check out Fusick.com. Call and ask them to send a catalog. Its easier then the web site. Good luck with your project!

Welcome aboard

I see 2blu442 has you going in the right direction

 

You'll want to hunt up Joe Padavano on this site. He's the technical guy, and he actually has a '62 F-85 wagon, so he can tell you anything you want to know about your car.

One of the things he'll probably tell you right off the bat is that the '61 to '63 F-85/Cutlasses are not as common nor as popular as the later ones, and while lots of parts are reproduced in the aftermarket for the later Cutlasses, there's nothing like that for yours. If you need a bumper, for instance, it will have to come from another car.

But having said this, there is still interest in cars like yours, and you should be able to locate whatever you need, in time, through this site and other sources, and an advice source like Mr. Padavano will be invaluable.

 

Welcome to CO! Post some pics of your car when you can!
