Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

Well here it goes , this is my personal car i have been building for the past 3 years , it kinda had to work on it since i have been building hot rods and custom cars for everyone else over the last 6 years. I wanted to build a driver / familey car and something that shows off some of my metal work skills , the motor is a 1985 chevy 292 , with a 62 chevy truck bell housing and a 86 t5 trans, the carbs are su 's and so far the body has been channeled 2 inches , everything in the engine comp smoothed out and filled , a lot of had made parts here , the hood tilted forward i like to be different and this deffently shows it i usually dont say much on here because im just a quiet guy but after workin on it the past weekend and how its turning out i fugared its time for everyone else to see it .

That will be a nice car when ya lower it a bit 8)

 

Nice work my friend!

 

the oil pan is holding it up from going aney lower , just havet yanked out the motor yet to trim it up

 

looking good soo far. i even like the foward opening hood

 

a tad low for a daily driver I would be afraid of blowing a line or losing air... the hood and engine compartment look really bitchin...good work!

 

Excellent build so far. I like the use of the 292, you'll like the torque and it will pull that wagon right around. Keep posting your progress.

Hard to see in the pics, but is the hood ribbed like the roof?

<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->yes i took a nother station wagon roof the ribbed part and made a new hood skin from it , i did have a perfict hood at one point in time but i knew i wanted to do this and i couldnt cut up a good hood so i swaped my perfictly good hood for a realy nice set of tail lights lenzes and bezels and bought a rusted out hood for 50 bucks and went from there , heres more pict of hood in progress
