    This one is getting a bit drawn out, its a personal project though. They tend to get put on the back burner for customer work. 1954 Ford 4 Door Wagon. Just needs the window seals and glass installed then final assembly, but has been at this stage for 2 years now.

    50 Olds gets my vote. Whens the last time you saw a 50 Olds wagon?

    Getting my son's '65 Ranch Wagon ready to roll. 352, auto, rusty quarters and dog legs, but otherwise a nice solid survivor. 31949757_10216961009920111_5340382466358116352_n.jpg

    Yeah, didn't have a choice no one made gauges for the 54 and it was planned to be a fast build.

    Lots 'n lots of old bondo was removed....about 80 lbs. (No kiddin').
    Im painting it Ferrari Cally light blue pearl. White vinyl roof.

    63 Caddy Wagon update.
    Motor and frame all done. 3 angle job. Some porting.
    Billet saber wheels.
    Its in paint right now. Once its buffed it should shine like the moon in winter. Lots of metallic silver in it.
    Going for dual exhausts.
