    Just got the wagon back from paint yesterday and took me 4 hours to get the new wheels, tires, and spiders on! They are a little bigger and I had to work on the front wheel lips and the rear shocks had to come loose to get the rear low enough to install the rears. Then the spider caps had fit issues. :( All on now. may drop the rear a little more. Trying to finish it up for Austin! All the darker green is Candy really pops in the sun.

    Before!

    Thanks guys, got lots of little stuff to finish up but I want to drive it and not have to worry too much about it. The tires are BFG's from Coker. As soon as it dries better Doug is going to color sand and buff it and then Chaddilac is going to stripe it and outline the scallops.
     
  8. Ahhhh aren't those spiders fun? Car looks pretty sweet. Did they just paint the front end, roof, and scallops or was it a complete?

    I always called that color "ice green". I guess I was right. It looks great.

    Never thought scallops and panels would work together, looks great on this wagon. Can't wait to see it striped.

    Thanks Guys! It was a total repaint less the jambs. Still needs to finish drying a week or so, going to use that time to do some little things from front to back. Got to make sure it is road worthy for the trip to Austin in a couple of weeks.

    I think the Bellflowers would be appropriate. Killer paint job.
     
  24. Rad! I agree with the bellflowers and lower back!

    Thanks! I have lowered the back another inch and it looks better. I am leaning towards the Bellflowers.
     
  26. I especially like the look of bellflowers on square wagons.

    Yours is certainly going to make them POP!
     
  27. Man,the wagon looks great. HRP

    Dropped the rear another inch or so, leveled it out better. Bellflower tips on order.
