    Hi all. My name is Scott. I stumbled on this forum while searching, unsucessfully I might add, for a fuel tank for my car. First, a little about myself. I was born in and have lived all my life in NJ except for the period while I was in the service. (1983-86)

    Always had a soft spot for wagons, having learned to drive and taking my road test in one. That was my mother's 1974 or 75 LTD Country Squire. My fater also had a 69 Country Squire at the time.

    I became a Mopar guy after that and owned a few. Sorry I got rid of my first, a 1971 Super Bee. I wanted to get back in the Mopar game and came across this cool wagon project so I bought it. Still needs some work but the bodywork is done. It has a 383 and an auto trans on the floor.

    Got new wheels coming this week. Lotta good that'll do when the car has a foot of snow on it. LOL
    Anyway, here's a couple pics.

    Love the WW2 planes. P40, P51, BF109, JU87....oh so cool. I wish I were rich. I always tell my g/f that if either of us hits the lottery I am getting a P51. God, they are like 1.5 mil and up now. Wagon should be road worthy by spring or early summer.

    Thank you, Silver.

    Thanks. I couldn't find the thread. Was it filled with, "hey look at this pile" or "what the h&ll is going on with this thing?"

    The gas tank has a small leak. New tires and wheels. That'll get it moving. Should look at brakes too. Has a single exhaust, so a dual is on the list.

    Scott, I saw your first post and figured The Stickman would spot it right away. That is one hot-looking Mopar wagon. Glad you came.:Welcome:

    If you love warbirds you should make a trip over to Reading Pa, to the Mid-Atlantic air museum. They are restoring what will be the only air worthy P-61 Black Widow. They also have a pretty nice WWII encampment/Airshow. We are doing the wife's car up in a warbird theme. We are going to add a bomber girl, and maybe a P-40 sharks mouth on the nose and or a Flying Tigers logo on the rear.

    Hey thanks. No, it is different from the car tank. It appears no one makes a repro for it. Seems odd to me that they don't, but who knows why?

    Stickman, your wife's wagon is off the hook. I like it a lot. I have been meaning to get to Reading. Maybe this spring or summer.
