I love tri-five wagons, and I can tell this thing is going to be bad ass when it's finished. I always look forward to the next update on it. Lovin' the work on the hood, and the subtleness of that chop. As for side trim I'd leave the long side spear, and omit the upper trim piece. Hot rod flats has a '57 Chevy turquoise, that with a purple candy flake roof would look killer. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted.
Yeah! The wheels are kool, the wagon is Kool, But, those fake white walls gotta go for the REAL deal!!!
NAAAW...the whites are stayin for now....I'm not dropping a grand on WW's for my kid to curb them. The rear windows are all easy....I ordered a new laminated rear glass so I can cut it down and the curved quarters will be cut also!! I still need to change the rear liftgate chop just a little as it isn't quite right...needs about a quarter inch narrowed at the bottom. I want to show it at Sacramento autorama in Feb in the club area. So I'd better get off my ass and geterdone!
I like long-roofs. Looks very cool. Gettin ready to roll out a 64 Biscayne wagon myself. Keep the progress rollin. Gary
Just 2 inches....My kid is going to be about 6'5 when he's done growing....so we were a little limited....and I like the proportions anyway.
Brewsir that thing is awesome, I'm not a fan of ratty Tri-5's but you need to slap some glass in that thing and go. I love the white walls and Radir's!!
Cool didnt know they made a laminate rear glass I have two four door pontiac wagons and two 2 door safaris and they I believe, are all tempered glass thats great to know Thanks look forward to seeing it around nor cal LTR Dave
dude this is the best thing ever, i LOVE wagons like these, its perfect, u shouldnt even paint it, keep it as is. question though.... u said u painted new whitewalls? i love those tires, what did u use to paint it with? i didnt think regular paint would work? i saw that one video on how to make ur own wide white walls a while back, but ur tires arent anything compared to that video
I like the wagon... let me know when your going to paint, I need some advice on my welded on roof job.
what kinda' wheels are those? and i, too look forward too seeing the car around as i do you and all the cars you've had. ncn
those are old mickey thompson radirs. Gonna spend the day welding holes from all that missing trim and try to get an appointment to get the top shot sooooon!
