The big wagon ended up being the poster car for the Prime Steel Car Show this year. I am truly humbled.

 

Cool thread! Thank you for sharing the build, you do some very good work.
I have a 62 Country Sedan and this thread is really going to be useful.

I like it!!!!! Great build and beautiful paint job. Really nice car.

 

Very Cool Grocery Getter

 

Very nice. Love that body style. Don't see many of them.

 

Was watching a YouTube vid of Back to The 50s whilst waiting for the Ms to get ready and look what popped up.

 

Killer wagon. Love the 352 build!

 

@FrozenMerc when you modified your lower arms to take the Galaxy front bush, what bolt did you use?
My bushes are shot and you like to have everything in place before I start.

 

I reused the stock Mercury bolts. If I remember correctly, I had to chuck one of them into the lathe and turn the shoulder back. I think that was done on the aft (rear) bolt.

 

Thanks, I should be able to check that before I get to the point of no return, because it’s so long I can only get it in one side of the garage and that blocks the Vette in too.

Are you still enjoying it?

 

Way Cool Wagon

 

Absolutely. The car is a blast. I took it to Pete and Jake's open house last weekend, it is always up for a road trip.
