Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

I just read all 80 pages of this! Truly an inspiring work of art. It's the threads like these that make the H.A.M.B. such a great place. I've always been a wagon fan, and just recently bought a 1959 pontiac wagon, so I was searching "wagon" when I saw this thread. Excellent work and craftsmanship abound in this build, and I think those who take the time to read through it all are better for it! I just moved to the east coast, so I hope I get the opportunity to see this car one day.

Thanks for taking the time to post your work Cody, I really enjoyed reading through the thread and watching this masterpiece come together!
