Projects 62 wagon build

I just use rustoleum for frame and suspension.
Some people love POR 15 but I haven't had luck with it.

Love the 62s. Rare to see a wagon. You have me hooked.

 

Parts car is here!

 

Looks more like a project to me.

 

Shout out and big thanks to Scwanke engines!

 

What's more fun than rust repair on a Friday night?

 

Metal project #1 in the books

 

Motivation.

 

Here’s my 62

Nice wagon - looking forward to seeing what you do.

That turquoise color on the parts car would look sweet on the wagon with a white roof.
Gotta love a '62!

 

Still looking to trade my 1956 Chrysler Windsor for a station wagon.Bruce.

 

Drove a 62 wagon while I was going to college in Colorado. It was a 283 power glide car. Could not kill that car. It was great.

 

Very Cool Car

 

I have a '62 Wagon too. It just isn't a Chevrolet........

Keep up the good work 61Gasser.

Just got through driving this one back from the GOODGUYS event in Bowling Green this past weekend.
283 three speed on the column 3.33 gears ran 70 to 80 M.P.H. all the way back

 

Very cool, my name may give away the fact that I have a soft spot for 61's!

 

Finally getting back on my project.,life happens I guess. Anyways, pretty much have all the parts off the parts car that I'm going to need for a while. Now, getting the wagon back into the shop may be a bigger project since we now have snow in the Northland!

 

Here's the wagon back in the shop ready for the "new" half a fire wall.

 

If you're wondering, here's the reason for the season.

 

Learned to drive in an old 53 Ford wagon. (Can't remember what style but it had 2 doors....unlike your!! J/K)
You gonna fill the holes and humps on that firewall, right? Sure hope you lower the wagon as much as reasonable. Two tone wagons really look slick IMHO. Big fat tarz, naturally....just no 20's!(maybe tub the rear?!)
Can you "cam-up" an LS engine?! Carb'ed not FI Maybe a 5 speed?! Can the wife "row"?! (better question is....WILL she row?!)
Nice sound system and AC should keep the troopz happy!!
I'm lik'en it already,

Now that looks more like a parts car Good luck and keep up the progress!

 

I know what you are thinking: "this dude's slow!" aaaand you would be right. Three young kids will do that to a project I guess. But, progress is progress even if it's a snail's pace!

 

Getting out the welder, once again, this afternoon.

 

Nice project. And you have a damn fine collection of vice grips!

 

Put my wife to work

 

Lemme guess, project supervisor, right?
