Thanks, Im thinking of painting it siber green matlic (which is on 2001 vw beetles)on the bottom and dark candy green on top

 

move the post & lengthen the front door about 6 inches it'd make a bad nomad

 

I'd stay with a lighter color on the top, maybe pearl white, or a pearl tan. Dean

 

like this?

 

Killer idea for the hood.

 

How lucky am I?? Homeboy is only about an hour up the road!! Looking forward to meeting you Cody.....

hey guys , thanks everyone on the complements , with turning this thing into a 2 door and harttoping it , i would realy like to do that but ive been that route before with my 64 impala 2 dr hrt and trying to get my 3 little girls in and out of the back seat just wasnt happining thats why i got the wagon , maby when they grow up and i dont have to put aneyone in the back seat then ill 2 door it , with hardtoping it , a hell of a lot more work and im trying to get this thing done by next year columbus goodguys and enjoy it , so its staying the way it is for now , but thanks for all the cool ideas,
To nate, thanks again for everything aspeally the fenders, and to pat i look forwared to seeing u at the jalopy showdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

so i have been looking for a rare valve cover to go on the wagon for about 6 mounths now and here is what i found , just super excited and i wanted to share with everyone , now i cant wait to go down to the shop tomarrow and put it on and hopefully it will fit under the hood

 

car kicks ass. nice job.

 

Nice work! Hood is very cool.

 

That wagon is sooooooo tits,can't wait to see what other ideas you come up with

mench

 

Nice metal work...that lower valance looks bad ass...u gonna keep the side trim?..

 

never seen a Mc Gurk valve cover before. very cool. lots of neet-o stuff goin on there...

 

yeah baby exactly like that! awesome ride!

 

"Trimming the oil pan to go lower!" What kind of stupid fuckin idea is that? Why not just let the air out of the tires? Can't believe I just read that!!!!

 

Love the way you brought the ribbed metal from the roof to the hood to the valence.
The color you mentioned from the VW is a perfect choice but as said above will look way better with a white pearl top or light silver flake top. Just my 2 cents. Awesome build and you certainly have skills.

 

Bad bob . With the oil pan, the pan is the lowest part of the car it's 2 1/2 inches lower than the front cross member since I have channeled the car i had to also lower motor so I would rather cut the bottom part off of the pan instead of ripping it off going down the road


El kamino kid yah I'm going to run the orgional brookwood side trim which stops in the middle of the front door, I'm still up in the air about door handles

 

Outer fenders for inner fenderwells ! Cool ! I did that on my '62 ! KICKASS WAGON !

 

Okay....i'll give you a pass,hahaha! Have the same problem with my oil pan,but I bought another Merc chassis so I could install the motor correctly. 1 1/2" higher. The way you discribed it,sounded like a Pep Boys lowering job!!!!

 

I took an inch out of the pan on my Roadster, just don't forget to shorten the oil pickup too. I haven't had any trouble with mine, and it's been on the road for over 15 years.

 

here it is on the 292 and man this valve cover is so close too touching the hood ,

 

So.....any Idea what yer gonna do with those Pontiac Turn Signal Buckets? I know a certain wagon that could use em.....or atleast the Drivers Side.

 

Utterly amazing, you, Woodpecker, have a sense of style.

 

all right heres some updates i ended up picking up a 3rd row seat and floor section from a local hamber , i got some more stuff in epoxy , fugared out what i was doing with the door handles and ended up picking up some engine dress up stuff since the last time i had posted so heres the photos
