That's awesome, Ryan! Really like those wagons... What are you planning on using for the airbag control system (valves, gauges, compressor, etc)? Malcolm
That is pretty slick, next time I find a car I want I will show the wife the pics so she'll want it too................
running some manual valves for now, but will switch them out for some 3/8 electric air ride's soon. viair 480's comps.
very nice wagon, has the perfect lines to make a full blown kustom with a candy top or just a very pretty daily driver with some WWW's
funny thing is me and the wife where talking about you last night while out in the shop about throwin down some louvers on the hood?!
Ryno - that rocks...........been in the market for one of those for a while, now. Looks killer bagged..........
thanks man. ive kinda been wanting another one for a while also, and like i said this one kinda feel into place.
went up to night prowlers yesterday and picked up some smithy's glasspacks. trying to log some miles today while the weather breaks, muffler shop tomorrow.
fast build! theres a guy in simi with a green 60' 2 door wagon on bags, its pretty fuckin nice... anyway, yours is lookin awesome!
ya trying to get this thing going for her before it gets really hot outside. got the exhaust done. through a new vacuum advance in the dizzy today, old one wasn't holding a vacuum. new rear seal in the power glide. re routed the manifold vacuum lines. runs much better. hooking up with revererd jake next week for a rust free front clip and then some primer time!
fabed up the rear and front shock mounts today messed with the stock gauges.temp and fuel. installed a new speedo cable that instantly broke, so there obviously more diggin to do on that.
went to Tulsa on Thursday to pick up a new frt clip from Reverend Jake. meet up with rashy and Josiah ( probably spelled it wrong, but that's what you get for having a weird name fucker) for a lovely lunch. meet up with Jake and got it all crammed into my daily toaster box. that's Jake. 2 front fenders, inners, core support, grill, upper support, and some gauges.i didn't believe that we got all that shit in there! huge thanks to Jake and the Tulsa crew for an awesome day. good food, friends, 1 tick 9 that makes 2 total because of this damn car), 2 spiders in the car on the way home, 2 scratched tinted windows, and numerious ants.
thats my scion. it was either drive that and get 30 mpg or take my big ass super duty and get 7mpg. i gave up looking cool along time ago. speaking of alliance tags, wheres yours?
ya, ya, ya i know lol. i had no choice but use the dodge 2500 during the gas crunch not long ago. was costing $5+/gallon and those turbo diesels are thirsty pigs!! im just poking at an open wound, no harm intended
Good looking sled man. This thread made me pull the trigger on one yesterday that Ive known about for years. Hope to get started on it soon.
Good luck with the project. This is the first time that I've seen the thread and I kan't wait unitl you get through Ryno'n it up. Gonna be kool!! Happy Trails, Mick
thanks mick. been DAing the body done to bare steel to get started on the paint work. whole shit load of real estate there! coming out really nice though. really straight and no rust in window channels or cowl areas. pulled the glass out and got all the interior trim ready for paint. hit up the joplin swap meet today and am going back in the am, found some 56 factory 15": steel wheels! see ya at ft scott next weekend!
i had a 60 parkwood that i sold a couple of yrs ago. i had a 402 bb in it. i filled in the back windows with sheet metal and made a semi sedan delivery. it was very cool and i do regret selling it.
Glad I could help Ryno! You're good people and I know that... that's why I did it! Sucks you scratched your tint. The bugs, well, that's Oklahoma for ya...
