More parts than a Swiss watch!

 

yes . and thats just the beginning ,

 

Hands down the best build up on any site, bro you have mad talent. cant wait to see this thing come together!!

 

Thank you .

 

Holy crap. There was a 59 that I was in love with before we moved towns. But Jesus this this is simply incredible. Where to start.


Domed bolts - genius
Smoothed engine - gorgeous
Paint colors - perfect
Hubcaps - smooth and clean
Door buttons - brilliant
Dash - beautiful
Grill - looks like it came that way


The simple fact that you seem so nonchalant about how beautifully your build is coming along says a lot about you too. Your work is amazing and top notch. I hope to see it sometime. Lets see... are there any good tourist spots near you lol?

 

Thanks for the amazing complement , yes there lots of tourist spots. , including the beach , also the rodder journal show in September in Baltimore , which I'm hoping to Debut the wagon which is close by as well

 

Another quick monday update , i got more of my parts back frome chrome , and cont. working on a lot of the small odds and ends that need to be done

 

system one oil filter back rom chrome

 

Bling! I'll be sure to bring my sunglasses to Pimlico

 

I might not make it there still so much to do and polish

 

Looking sweeeet...Jim

 

If you're not having a good time on the build, what's the point? You tend to get sloppy when you are fatigued. Working all day on somebody else's wheels dosen't leave a lot of energy for your own at night, especially when you have little ones at home.

So I guess it won't be at the Showdown this weekend, hopefully you will be there.

 

chris i really do enjoy the build , at times it can be fustrating , but for the most part it really is fun . when i get home from work i spend my time with the fam an kids until they go to bed , then im back at it , home life is good thanks for the consersns , are you going up to the showdown .

you know every year i say the wagon is going to make it next year , and again thats a big nope lol , but it should be there for sure next year , as far a i know of ill be there saturday , are you bring the elky again this year ????????????????????????? i cant wait to see it with the new paint job.

 

No concerns here. I just sympathize with the pressure put on you to get the build done on someone else's schedule. I know family comes first with you. It took me six years to build my ride, which doesn't compare to your build, and that's because I built it with a lower priority than the needs of my family. As long as you continue to put them first, they will enjoy the car as much as you will for years to come. ~Chris

 

just trying the new app out to see how well this things uploads pictures , but I did manage to polish one of the stainless hood slider .

You kids and your new toys...Jim

 

I hope all is OK. Having update withdrawals.

 

I even like the foward opening hood

 

Hey cody, haven't been on here for a long time.

nice to see you are still making progress on the loveliest wagon in all of time. you defo got carried away from your initial 'daily cruiser' project though.

Are you planning to put that old boat on the show circuit? I reckon you could clean up everywhere and make yourself a very good professional reputation just by showing this thing off.Orders will come flying in. You'll just have to learn to compromise on customer cars, otherwise you'll only ever make 1 every 3 years.

 

Amazing build. Been following for awhile cant wait to see finished.

 

sorry guys its been so long since the last update , things have been crazy hectic here , with the family work and everthing else going on , I have been able to work on the wagon , but I havnt been able to get as much as I wanted to accomplished, so I doubt the wagon will be done for The Rodders Journal show , there still so much to do and the time keeps dwindling down , I still don't have a bunch of my pieces back from chrome yet that I sent out at the end of December , and things keep on messing up causing me more time , so im done stressing over it , it will get done when it gets done and that might not be untile next year , enough of my rambling on so here are the pics




bed lined the inner fenders and rad support


polished out the rad



the original molding on the right and the new molding I made on the left

 

looking good, and you are right that having gone this far you will just get done when you do. plus then we can keep getting updates....

 

I had a heck of a time fugaring out where to put the breather and this is what I came up with

If you don't make Pimlico we'll be disappointed, but we're not what matters. Do what you need to do and we'll be ready to look when you're ready to show.
