Custom Wagon

I found this on another site. Being a wagon freak I think it is cool as hell. Opinions ? Anyone here ever chop or customize a wagon ?

 

I like it...although I would have a hard time cutting on a 56 chevy...they are already perfect!

 

Saw this one a few weeks ago. Not mine, not too radical but kinda interesting.

 

No, I am not cutting up my 56. I like it the way it is as well.....

 

There is a guy on here, Chopt55bc, that has a wicked 55 chopped wagon. I saw it in Rolls & Pleats a few years ago. Here is a pic of his wagon, sorry for the image size, maybe he will see the post and add pics. I'm looking at a 57 Ford wagon, again, later today.

 

the photo is a 57 Plymouth. I hate to even post my 52 Plymouth anymore. it just sitting and rusting till I can get back to it. I grafted a front half of a hardtop to the back of a wagon. chopped the hardtop part 3 inches and the wagon part 5 inches to match the roofs

 

Yeah, I have seen that one as well. One of my fave's for sure.

 

KEN ERICKSON AND SON'S BUILT THAT PLY WAGON AS A FAMILY FUN PROJECT. WE PUT IT UP FOR SALE AND IT WENT AWAY VERY FAST.

Why do all that work on a wagon??? when you can buy mine already chopped and customized! HaHa!

 

Here is a picture on my wagon. not to much done to it. it is a 64 plymouth valiant.

 

Paint on the plymouth wagon.............yep.
Chop..................nope.

 

Not diggin it.

 

ditto.

 

Not my thing, but this one sure is... chopt55bc's sweet waygone!

 

in high school I bought a 54 ranch wagon with a 4inch chop and a caddie motor,paid 300 for the damn thing.ended up selling it to buy a bigger rat motor for my ss396 chevelle........wish I had the wagon now,last I heard it was in salem oregon in about 1980

Noname..I keep waiting to see your wagon finished, I'm an old man I don't have a lot of time left get your *** in gear and get that car done, you know it's going to be a killer............

 

Perfect...

 

custom 60 ford wagon

 

Are there anymore pictures of this wagon out there? I would love to see them!

 

I have a couple of pictures but there are people in the way

a thanks dave

who's your idol


sorry about that guy I think he goes by the initials TJ or TQ Im not sure

here he is again taking credit for a awesome job

oops how did that get in there but if you look on the right you can see the wagon there. I think my trophys are better


here is a nice interior shot

hey bruce I feel better now thanks for letting me post the pictures for you

 

Thanks man!

 

Hey! it could be your next project. I hate to see it sit. but I have two projects ahead of the wagon. I'm probably older than you..........Jim

 

hey man here are a couple of the car by itself I am a ball buster

 

Why does the back wheel of that wagon ^ look like it's askew? Photoshopped?

 

Perhaps one of the coolest wagons ever.

 

Finish that Plymouth, man. That thing is too cool.

 

Kerry, pick a style that you like, then set up a plan. Are you gonna shoot for mid 50s style? Late 50s? Early 60s? traditional with some modern amenities? What is going to be your use for wagon? Daily driver? Show? All this stuff plays a role. You have a big time advantage in that your 56 is a nice body style and looks good as it is. Customize with a plan and you won't go wrong

 

I am planning on keeping the car black. I like the way the primer looks but I am going to do it in a suede paint so it is more even. I would still like to flake the roof green, add some white walls and dog dish caps, or paint the rims black and add bullets & chrome lugs. Maybe some pinstriping on the dash & tailgate. As for the interior, I have to install my door panels and it needs a headliner. Thinking of a furry white headliner, or would that be stupid ?
