Remember the 54 Ranch Wagon?

Ever so often somebody will send me a PM asking about the wagon so
It won't suprise me if some you don't remember it,,it's been a long running back burner project for the past 6 years,,,and at a stand still for 2 1/2 years!

Here are the photos up until now,,,www.fotki.com/hotrodprimer



Photo of my recently deceased mother-in-law and the little girl is my wife.

The car has been in her family since it was new,,,rotted away and I have been trying to bring it back from the too far gone catagory.



,,,,anyway, today I got the dash back with paint and ready to ***emble and thought I would show you guys the color we picked out,,, HRP

 

OOOOHHHH! I like it! Kind of opposite of what I'm thinkin for mine. I want to keep the Kilarney green inside And paint the body the same. Lookin good! keep us posted!

 

Your wife and her mother ??

I missed the edit ...

 

Glad to see you get some parts back.

Good Luck ...

 

Boy Danny, you had me worried there.

I thought you were going to tell us that you had the car back in your garage.

 

Love the color! Any more pics of the car? How far along is it?

 

having just finished a 54,i can appreciate your hard work.the frame repairs alone are huge. do you have good hood hinges? i had to buy a complete car just to get a set. good luck and looks good.

 

Randy,,you and Ken know all the **** that we have gone through,,,but I think we are back on track,,,note,,I said I think,,Ha,ha . HROP

 

I try real hard to be a calm, laid-back type of fellow. A fellow with patience
But you are way more patient than I could be

Glad to see the 54 back on track.

My '56 Plymouth wagon is in a condition much like yours was originally. I hope to have it looking at least half that good!

 

This is where it was when I took it to the painter,, HRP

my mother in law had an 85 lebaron....not as cool as a wagon.

man, that thing would be cool chopped and sectioned. maybe some hotrodprimer. lol just kidding man. keep up the good work yall.

 

now when it is coming home from the painter

 

cool history and a cool car...I have been working off and on for 8 years on my 54 wagon...so I can relate...

 

Ken,,,If it came home today,,I don't have a place to put it nor the time to give it my full attention until we get a customers 33 chevy that is in a million pieces out of the shop. HRP

 

looking good HRP, keep up the good work. I can appreciate where you're at as I'm part way thru a '55 ranchwagon for my wee wifey - ours has a slightly more "colorful" past than your one though, must be nice knowing its been part of the family from day one.

 

My first car was a 54 two door in a lighter color, Sea Haze green. Like your wagon.

 

Looking good!

 

a way cool project please post more photos as it comes together
