Thanks guys!

I agree 100%. I have asked each one of these guys dumb questions so that I am a little better armed when I start on my own and they have always been helpful with information & ***istance.

 

My dumb questions will be back to back soon Im sure. I'm going to start gathering parts and hope to get on the wagon this fall/winter and have it on the rode for spring. I've been eyeballing this wagon for almost 2 years, was tied up in an estate deal for 6 months, I was calling the guy weekly last fall. I almost gave up on it. Left him alone for 3 months and called and looked it over and made the deal. Glad I did.

 

I'd sure like to find one of those old tube grilles or maybe someone like woodpecker could reproduce them and sell them to us to finance his project!!

 

glad to be able to help ya!
check out glory grills.

 

I tend to prefer stock. I swapped my old tube grille to Earl Scheib for a good original grille.

I dig the light shade! Nice wagon by the way.

 

I'm just glad I can participate.. plus, I'm an attention ***** & I'm feeling kinda needy right now!

 

here' s a few more for inspiration to get yours going.

 

a good friend of mine just got this panel going. LT1, 700r had it at stray kat this past wk end and you thought station wagon, el camino tail gates were hard find?? Not compared to these. front clip missing and floors gone when he got it.

 

Love this. Any idea how he lowered it - & how much?



JH

 

Heck guy's mine is a 60 el camino ,but...I know I have asked my share of questions and all these projects motivate me to keep going ....

 

id have to guess just a 2" drop spindle and maybe some springs or just cut the stock springs?

 

Looks like a two coil cut.

 

That 59 Sdn Dlv is neat.. I truly enjoy 'em! The blind spots are a bit much, for a daily driver. But they're so cool to look at!

 

My 2" spindles arrived Monday. I'm planning on cutting a coil (or two) also.

JH

 

one cut coil, with dropped spindles is perfect for a daily driver. 14yrs with mine, an I have no complaints!

 

Do you have a photo of this DD?
