Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

thanks jim and are also what eats up a lot of time

thank you

thank you ,I realy could care less about awards , just who I am , ive never been in this for that , im just anxious to drive the wheels off of it

I use washers on everything , and lock tite everything , tighten em down and hope the paint doesn't break , but also on bolted areas I try to keep the build of the materials to a minumn

thanks

 

awesome work!

 

that sender needs a acorn nut do not make me come over there

 

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. It's funny Cody, you have us all holding you to your own standards, but then, I'm sure you already had plans to put an acorn nut there.

Awesome work bro...

 

You may not care about awards but you're gonna get 'em, Cody.

 

thanks

Patients young grasshopper patients

Lol just haven't gotten around to it yet

Ya I guess so

 

dude I HAVE to swing in one day and check out your work. its freakin insane. I may be in Delaware in a few weeks. ill have to get in touch with you

 

nothing to special today , I did manage to get the rest of the parts that needed bed lined done , I finished up the linkage on the carbs and sanded parts

 

Bed lined stuff looks good...Jim

 

Cody, are your inner fenders actually outer fenders? DAMN! That is awesome looking. No plan for a hood?

 

Post #18015.... The hood's been in the final stages of paint now for thelast few weeks. Perfection takes time

 

thanks

yes they are my original fenders , I used them as inner fender since they were in really rough shape ,and rattaxi48 Donated the outer fender years ago off of his 59 bel air for the wagon cause , yes what one2roc said , I'm still in the process of finishing up the hood

Haha , you beat me to it , thanks

 

This has got to be one of the best looking wagons I've ever seen. I honestly think you should find a way to get it to Grand Nationals, SEMA, etc.... Hate to say it (because I know you want to drive it), but that car is show circuit quality. Not to mention, if you ever wanted a career in custom car building, this car would get you there in a heart beat.

 

Thank you for such the kind words , the wagon isn't perfect. , it has it's issue , but it is what it is , as far a gnrs and sema , I would love to do that , but funds are running out on this and there would be no possible way to make it to those kind of show Especially since there on the other side of the country , also I don't own a trailer or a truck , so everywhere the wagon goes its going to get dirty and driven , yah I know , but it is what it is , as far as my carrier , I'm a free lance hot rod / custom car builder already , thanks again
Cody

 

Didn't know that - I saw metal fab in your profile, but it makes sense that you already build custom rods, it's pretty obvious in this build.

I understand the distance thing, and the shrinking funds. I've seen cars hit the circuit for a year or two (hauled by a promotion company or sponsor), but then you never get a chance to drive and enjoy them until the circuit is done.

Still not low enough! Lol

 

There could be an "OUCH" there someday...Jim

 

I have been following your build for quite a while, would you hurry up and finish this beauty Man that car is and will be stunning! Can't wait to see it finished -would love to see it in person -like say at LSRU.

I know right

yah I know , that's the whole reason for the air ride

Perfection takes time my friend , I'm ready to see it finished too, lsru is one show I would love to take the wagon too, and ive have been thinking about that lately , so we'll see when the time comes

 

93 pages long and this is the first time I have clicked on your thread, I got a lot to catch up on. Amazing work. The detail is unreal.

 

Cody do you have any pictures of doing the inner fenders?

 

I'm curious about the inner fenders too.

there still so much to do ,

 

The second shot show's a great forward rake rather than a 'broken' look. And of course the shiny shots really give the main body green some life! This update should feed the 'fix' of so many fan's of your build Cody. Maybe a nickname of 'Codeine' for all those junkies!

 

I am in awe! ,,Beautiful work! HRP

 

Lol

Yes I'll be there Saturday ,

Thanks
