Hot Rods 1961 Chevy wagon

Just got the wagon home, LET THE FUN BEGIN!

 

wagons are popular around here. cant wait to see what direction you go...

 

me either

 

Nice. What are your plans for it?

 

As far the as the engine goes were putting a 383 Chevy small block in it.
Paint were probably leaving it the way it is with a few minor touch ups here and there. I bought some old school ET mags. But money is tight so we'll see where it ends up.

 

i like the way you think

man your car is so much nicer than mine.

 

Thanks. My dads always loved wagons but I wasn't to sure about them, And when the opportunity came up to actually have a 61 wagon for $400, well we couldn't resist.

 

don't take this personally but you suck

 

Haha... and how much is a good tailgate?

 

heres some pics of it before it came home.

the last good one someone priced me on here was 850 + shipping.
i have a hard time paying that.

 

Wow. yah i think just about anyone would. Good luck on finding one

 

i think we are going to attempt to fix this one...

 

Probably the best way to go.

 

Nice looking wagon. Good luck with the project!

 

Thanks

 

i love the 61s

 

That,s just cool and I like the color.have fun with it.

 

Great to see another longroof saved, subscribed to watch your build.

 

Cool car. I've been eyeing a 59 but I have enough crap to do

 

Man, looks like a nice start. Reminds me of my 62. I don't have it any more. That makes me sad.
you do suck!
But it's still a nice car.

 

Cool car. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

 

Man, the retard who sold you that sweet wagon for only $400 must not know much. That's scrap price!

 

thats great. wagons are awesome. I am starting a 58 yeoman this winter. drop the motor, trans in, those wheels, add some disc brakes. get her running and drive the tar out of her.

 

The floors are all rusted out, all long with some rust on the roof but we'll see what we can do.

 

Yah the paint is in pretty good condition. Except for that side on the back end.

 

You can get full length floor panels. I have 2 for mine but i am not putting them in right now.

 

yah, we were thinking of doing that but we couldn't come up with the money. Were going to cut a square in the floor then just weld in some sheet metal. Its not the ideal way to go but it works.

 

Mine has sheet metal popriveted in place. The floorpans were a christmas gift from my wife. They have been in my garage for the last few years.
