Cool wagon. Are you really restoring it or are you just using that as a catch phrase for "fixing up" an old car?

[52Chief]

Cool wagon! I've been thinking about getting a wagon for parts hauling. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

What are your plans for it? I know you're restoring it, but how so? Back to new, or just fixing it up and driving the wheels off?

[porknbeaner]

Never hurts to let one go, just a good excuse to build a better one next time.
The wagon is cool, but surely not as cool as it will be, right?
welcome

so far i plan on painting it grabber blue with a white metalflake top. im also thinking of putting white scallops on it. the interior will be white with blue piping on the seats and all door panels and the back of the wagon will be actual wood(think of a reverse woody). i want to put 18" rims with a low profile tire. sometime in the future i want to airbag it.but right now just trying to do all the engine and tranny work to get it on the road. it has a 390 in it.

any pointers or any ideas are welcome.

[The_Monster]

maybe this would look cool? who knows, its an idea anyways http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[lownslow]

no suede black.save that for a 50s car.....your blue and the flake sounds cool though ...and then you need to buy my 60 merc grill to put in it ........the rims are cool just put narrow whites on it....cragars are cool.........nice car.......

[hankcash]

Thanks Monster...
That is exactly what I have been trying to get him to go for....
HC

[hankcash]

now slammit!

[52Chief]

I like Monsters too, but I'd lose the door handles. But I think it's a cool wagon regardless.

I'd go with Astros and skinny whites, unless you have your heart set on 18's. But I'm a newbie, so what do I know? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Now get going on it so we can see what ya do!

[Johnboy]

Welcome. Nice wagon. Wagon's seem to be gettin kinda popular lately. You've got a good start with plenty of potential. Look forward to seeing what you end up doing with it. Again, welcome. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
