Hot Rods 1961 Chevy wagon

Oh. you're pretty lucky.

 

Yes I am. We have been married for 21 years now and she buys me firearms or hot rod stuff or harleystuff for christmas and anniversary gifts

 

sweet man

 

It's junk sell it to me quick before I cahnge my mind!

 

Yikes.

 

Your poll doesn't have Chevy orange. Cool wagon nevertheless.

 

Original color is cool, sell those "racer wheels" and stay with steelies. Or is it a race car, not! I don't understand the fucking race car wheels on cars, especially a longroof, what the fuck!! Thanx I feel better after that rant! Good luck with the build. ~sololobo~

 

Yah those steelies look amazing and we would prob. put them on but for the price we bought these wheels $10 each we going try them out, And if we ever decide change up the look on the wagon those would prob. be the way we end up going.

 

Oh yah forgot! thanks for the reminder....NEW POLL

 

Nice score on your wagon. Lots of potential there and reminds me of my wagon when I got mine too.. As a matter of fact it came from from your neck of the woods also..
Heres a picture of the day I bought my wagon.

 

wow thats in pretty good shape. All the glass is there and everything?

 

...

 

Painting the engine the same color as the car seems a bit street roddy. Hot rod red works, though. As would Chevy orange.

 

Nice wagon reminds me of mine.

 

like the wagon.like the et wheels. hell i like it all.lol wish we were closer id love to give you a hand with that old girl.oh and as much as i like the sbc, i hate orange.paint the engine black add some chrome and pretty pretty pretty.

 

Wow thats pretty sweet looking. I love it

 

Haha yah the black would look awesome. but i think were going for a hot rod look.

 

Black. But of the two choices, red.

 

Ill look into a black engine. Since it seems so popular

 

Better take a light.

 

Thanks for the tip

 

Got the wagon in the garage and about to start the build. Had to get a few loose ends here and there, like getting a welder and a workbench but we're set now and should start the build in 2 weeks or so.

 

Any one ever make one of these into a 2 door?
I searched a while back and came up empty.
