I know wagons are the new 2dr hardtop.(well close) Its too bad so many were crushed, crashed, derbied.
Thank you Thanks man your 59 is coming along nicely also it would be cool to have them together at a show next year! I'm trying my best! See ya in salina maybe,if not it's on at the drags! thats the plan!
Ive just got caught up with this, and may i say, its outstanding! Im loving the colour, and the new side trim is the perfect choice.
thanks , and i hoping the trim will add a little different look then the std trim. i may be wrong , but i don't think they made a kingswood with impala trim, you could order it with a brookwood, but not kingswood? again im not sure, but either way i think it will look good.
zman, ive always have had respect for you and your posts. ive not always agreed with what youve said but still had respect for your right to say it.but to this one, you are dead on.100%.ive always believed this rust,patina is bullshit. its for people who are too lazy to fix or do not have the skills to fix it right.so they try to make it cool to have a rusty ass car.i hate rust!! oh yea, i love that wagon!!!
sadly no updates... helen has been sleeping up in the air. i got side tracked on this,http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=612409&highlight=ryno and then just been busy with some customers stuff, but i have purchased a new shifter and all the steering components/column, if that counts for anything!
Keep waiting Holmes.... I haven't touch her in way too long. You been working on yours? Are we toning to see you at the drags? You got a spot at the house if needed. Thanks
well its been way too long, since i laid hands on the ol girl. i brought her down from her resting spot up in the sky and spend a few hrs on her. i had bought some 58 delray? taillights awhile (about 1yr) ago from a hamber. thought it was about time to getting them installed. i plan on Frenching them in buckets. first step.stock set up. cut out. that's when about the time i realized i didn't have enough 18 gauge to make the buckets! and it was about 110 in the shop all day.so i called it quits on the rear. decide to start the mock up of 3x2 set up. i scored this from a good texen friend. going to need some love on the carbs,and will probably glass bead the manifold, not much of a polished guy. that's it for now folks....
Any updates? I checked out your shop truck build it looks great. Now lets see some more on the wagon. Ryan Never mind I just found the 64 wagon thread.
I love your wagon.I always had wagons ,even before they were kool.I don't mean to hi jack your thread but,After having my 56 buick wagon I found my old one I sold 10 years ago just sitting in storage.I had to have it back.I know its newer but its a STATION WAGON.Bruce.
Ryno has a stunning 64 wagon but I'm curious what happened to this one. He's been busy with a few projects.
sadly, i have not touch her in way too long, but i did talk about it today if that counts at all... as david mentioned i built another wagon, a 64 Biscayne for my wife and i too enjoy since. been too busy building customer cars to stop and do ol' helen some love.
Bump for updates. Any body know why people use a plate on the lower c-arm instead of cups ? I've got some pipe and can make lower cups. I just want to make sure there isn't a certain reason why not.
Did you use dominator 2600's front & back? I'm collecting parts for a 59 Elco quik & dirty right now. Looks like things are going to be very tight with 2600s? That's what I have.
yes i run 2600's in the front and rear. some frames you have to cut the lip off and re weld up the inner seems.
Have not made much progress on this one. I did however get some nos 45 spoke true spoke wire wheels for her.
