Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

yes

Wow im blown away by all of your responces , Thank you all so very much ,it really means a lot .

 

sweeeeet!

 

Just plain cool ! The hood workings and grill are amazing!

 

WOW.....Jim

 

I always look forward to the Monday updates....A few questions. In an average week, how many hours are you able to put towards the wagon?

Have you thought about what your going to do with all your spare time when it's complete?

 

sick

 

Cody , this build is out of this world ! The SU carbs are great , I ran them on some knucks in the 70's . Very easy to start and dependable . Love your wagon and cant wait to start on my wife's . Blue

 

In bare metal and in pieces this car was freaking bad ass. Now in paint and more and more pieces making their way on to the car it just keeps getting better and better. Your fit and finish looks incredible in the pictures. Well done man!

 

anywhere between 24-28 hours I get to put on the wagon , Plus I work full time on the other projects in the shop , plus the shop is over a hour away , so yah I'm alway on the go , once the wagon is finished , I'm going to spend a lot more time with my kids , and family , Car show,and eventually I want to build a 32 ford 3 window my way

Thanks again everyone

 

A 32 Ford 3 window your way, NOW THAT I WANT TO SEE....Jim

I have been watching this build since the beginning, and it just gets better and better. This car is quickly rising to my top ten list of favorite cars of all time. I know by the end that it will be in my top 5. I truly hope I can see it in person one day.
Beautiful and inspiring work sir!

 

Best. 59. Wagon. Ever.

 

So many great ideas in your car. What did you use for windshield wiper system?

 

what an amazing build. Just read through the whole thing and its amazing. You are a true craftsmen. sweet wagon

 

Cody, front end looks killer. Actually, everything does!

 

I like how you blacked out the nostril inserts. much easier than the ones I made.

 

Thank you everyone for the kind words

I used a cable drive wiper setup from specialty power windows ,

the ones you made are awe some Tyler
I toke the easy way out on that one

 

Cody,with every post this car just keep getting better.

Really like the interior...won't be long now! HRP

 

Damn Cody! I know you've been told all throughout this thread, but, you have some crazy mad skills! Not only one of the finest wagons around, but one of the best customs I've seen here on the HAMB IMHO! It looks like it could have been purchased that way in 1959! Top notch buddy!

Thanks , it is , but there still a lot of little things that need done

Thank you

 

Monday up date again , things are getting very close , in the past week , I finished up the rest of the wiring , all the lights and signals work ,finished the flip out talelight assaembly , the wagon is ready for inspection , except for the breaks , im waiting on the master cylinder to get back from being sleaved down , and we should be good to go , there still a lot of little things that need to be finished , but im steady working my way threw them .







oh ya , also this past week I came across some of Ben McKee amazing art work while surfing the web , he goes by typical on here, ive been wanting to have some t shirts made up for some time now but just never got around to it and didn't know what I wanted , so I commissioned him to draw up my motor , and within less than 24 hours this what he had , its not finished yet, but you get the idea .



I think it will be pretty cool t shirt design once its done
