Projects Thought I'd finally start a build thread.. 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon, Gene Winfield DONE!!

Got a little excited and decided to pull the body off the frame Why do I always do this to myself...


Pile for blasting and powder coat:



Waiting on the frame I figured time for this firewall. Ford should get the award for ugliest firewall!

 

Great looking wagon.

 

That looks good, and maybe this is a stupid question, but what are you going to do for a heater and wipers now?

 

Vintage air heat, cool, defrost under the dash and lots of rain x!

 

cool build

 

Nice

Jake

 

Cool, I can't wait to see how that works out, I have one of those kits as well, but air only I think, still in boxes from years ago.

Bold, very bold on the second part. Not that 57 wipers are worth a crap anyway.

Did you have electric wipers before? Any chance you want to part with that motor

 

Great work! I love watching it happen faster than it does in my garage.

 

Powdercoat is Back!!


Can't wait to get this chassis rolling again...

 

Finally some color!!!

 

Just gotta Undercoat the body and this may start looking like a car again.....

 

thats going to be a awesome wagon when its done

 

YES! That's why I have to follow thist thread too.

 

Awesome. Just joined HAMB and this is the first thread I read. Glad I did! Awesome wagon!

you have been busy

does not seem like you ll be slowing down until its done

keep up the good work ....

 

Finally it's almost a wagon again

 

Had my Buddy Ed "Word" Chaves come by to throw down some pinstriping.

 

And Blocking.. And Blocking... And Blocking getting ready for paint. Then some more Blocking.

The beauty of having the "King of Kustoms" as a Uncle is at the holidays I always say "You're going to paint one of my cars someday" His reply anytime just call..

Well I finally did....

 

This was the list of materials Gene asked for 0.0


Time for sealer!!

 

Gene didn't want to use a booth he said wet the floor down and do it in the garage. LOL

 

this is going to be a cool wagon!

 

Anybody who had restored/hotrodded a full size wagon knows it not easy! Big flat panels, rare trim pieces, big heavy frame, etc, Your build, makes doing a coupe or a roadster a breeze!
Your wagon is coming along nicely and to get Gene to spray on one of his unique paint jobs will make it a winner for sure!

 

amazing!!!! I'm subscribed.

 

dang!! can't wait to see it, wagon's rule

 

Absolutely killer.

 

Clear Coat!!
