Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

Sorry Cody....It sucks and you should start over! Of course Im kidding, just don't want all the praise to make your head swell!! Looks great man! keep it up

 

thanks

 

Monday update time again , so i had to re-shoot the roof again , some of the bug spots came back to haunt me, i sprayed the motor and some other odds and ends stuff today . at home im still polishing stainless moldings , and if everything goes right i should have the windshild in thursday and the motor back in monday, but we'll see

 

freakin badass as usual. awesome work man. the sanding on the block looks like it was a total pain! well worth it though

 

DAMN YOU !!!!!! I'm going to take up knitting

 

Mmmm.. Green eye candy!

 

thanks , it was a total pain , i lost track of the amount of time i have in that thing but im happy with the way it turned out

why

lol mmmmmmm yes

 

Unreal build......

 

Sorry about the roof. I hate bugs.

 

Awesome!

 

Cody, does it matter what kind of paint you use on the block? I would hate to see all that hard work get damaged by the heat of the engine.

 

If it's Urethane he's good to go. Have done lots and never a problem with heat. Old straight Enamel works good too but takes about a week to dry.

 

Holy crap dude. Awesome. I love engines painted up all glossy. Its looks sweet.

 

Cody, I know it was a lot of work for the roof, but if you weren't happy with it, now was the time to redo. Your stainless is looking super, engine and parts look great....Jim

 

Damn,amazing ....

 

Looks fantastic. Can't wait seeing everything going back together - trim and stuff...

 

HOT DAMN!
That is one sexy bellhousing! The rest of the car ain't bad either
I really want to see this wagon come together, keep it up Cody!

 

Someone might have asked that alerady, or you said it, but can you tell me what is the engine/roof color? that is if it aint a custom mix of course. and thanx.
Looks bad ass btw.

 

Beautiful. Man that is a boat load of sheet metal

 

^ x2

Wagon looks fantastic!!! Love the smoothed engine and bell housing.

 

Freaking amazing

 

Amazing awesome damn!!!!!!!

 

shit happens , but it is what it is , im happy with the way it turned out this time

the dark green is a urethane and milwscruffy is right

in the process


and all finished and polished up

 

amazing cody! you are going above and beyond and i love every detail of this killer wagon. giving me major inspiration and motivation to push my 53 as far.

 

Stunning!!! Its all about the details.
I wish I could give this a rating of more than 5 stars!

Wow. I've been following this build for several months now and every time you post a new update I get even more impressed. This deserves to be a Rodders Journal cover car for sure.
