1961 Chevrolet Parkwood "OLD GOLD" 108k Original Miles "Patina Rod"

Took the seats back out for base/clear treatment to the back side panels. Also the rear pan got treated as well.









Installed in the down position.

 

Ended up ripping out the old Harrison radiator for a US RADIATOR 4 ROW and mating it with a electric Black Magic Xtreme puller fan.

 

Absolute COOL thread/work/car!!

 

Very nice Chevy wagon...but I have to ask you one question...

You left the "patina" look (translated - NEEDS PAINT!) on the outside, but you detailed the new engine, put a brand new interior in it, polished the exterior trim, and put some nice mods on the car. Why didn't you paint the wagon??? Looks like you are going for two totally separate looks with this Chevy.

 

Added two more switches to the billet dash, the one on the left is for the Black Magic Electric Fan, and the one on the right is for Mood Lighting. :crazy


Put the cherry on top of my interior with some correct Chevrolet Accessory floor mats.






7 months start to finish on Old Gold. I'm pleased with the outcome of my build and I hope you all enjoy too.

 

You've been busy.

And that wagon rocks!

 

Thank you! Beautiful Bubbletop in your avatar.

Outside the car is maturity/originality, yet custom. Besides, anyone can paint a car or truck, but to have mother nature take her course and let her do her thing to original paint is priceless in my book. And yes, the inside factory restored to the bone with subtle custom touches. It's an awesome thing! Well, at least I think so!

 

Awesome car- beautiful interior and engine.

 

Thanks!

 

The motor looks good in there, the diamond in a goats ass!!

 

Nice Parkwood! Thanks!

 

Thank you Jim.

HAHA!

 

Out of curiosity, will you be putting in some vintage/NOS/vintage style seat belts?

 

If I could find some correct Chevrolet Fawn belts, yes I would. Super rare.

 

Very nice,and clean,great job!!

 

Man that a great looking car, but im going to be the asshole to scream about the big wheels. I liked the steels so much better!!! Im a fan of wires or supremes as well, but more for a glossy painted ride, you gotta put those steels back on homie!

 

Thanks hvychvy!

They can always go back on, so I can have the best of both worlds.

 

Beautiful wagon, nice work. I agree that the steel wheels looked better, but to each their own.

 

I have a hard on for a wagon now.

 

I agree, steel wheels look better. Nice work on the interior! Don't you love CLR?

 

Nice to see the inside work, esp the far rear seat.

My Dad had a 64, and the rear seats were only up for family vacations. We did the M&D and 4 kids in the back of a wagon cross country trips.

neat car and BEAUTIFUL interrior.

Would look wicked with some chrome reverse wheels and pinner whites

 

I had no idea CLR would do that!! nice wagon!!

 

Rad car. Wheels, not so much...

 

agree with the 2 above. Also, that car is amazing.

 

Now that is the way they should be built! Fantastic.
Steel wheels are completely blah. The others make that car pop!! Beautiful!

 

very very nice,I like the wheels by-the-way

 

he's right! its really nice! but im not a fan of the wheels. but it is your wagon, and it is beautiful!

 

Bitchin wagon! The wheels are a little big for my taste, but the car looks great. How bout some chrome steelies and wide whites.

 

Looks good Sixoneforlife!
