    I had a 59 wagon as well. I planed on using 4 door hardtop doors, they bolted in place and only need center door post to get beafed up (after the post is cut out). Chevy never made a hard top wagon. Use the idea if you want.

    It's true, ribbed is more pleasurable.

    that was one of my ideas when i first bought the wagon , but after i got into the build making it a 4 door hard top was going to be realy difficult , since in the rendering it shows no door seams with the rearback part of the door doesnt match up to that c piller , if i got rid of that front 1/4 glass and moved the c piller forward like in the photo shop pict then the rear raparound glass wouldnt be long enough ive though this out a lot and still havet been able to come up with a slution , i wish it was just as easy as putting the 4 door hard top door and and going from there , if it was i would have deffenty done that first in the build , i was also thinking about chopping it at one point in time i could have use a 2door hard top windshilde which is lower in hight ,about 2 to 3 inches but im just going to leave it alone and try to get it done this year , unless there is an easyer way to harttop it with out having that rear raparound glass re made . im open ears thanks for photoshoping it, it does look realy bad ass like that

    Awesome work! I love the '59s. I love what you have done to the hood and the engine is neat to see what you have done. Keep it up and keep us posted on your progress.
