    Well the wagon is under the knife again. It all started with a new set of rust free savoy fenders I picked up and now the car is almost totally apart again. Built a nice 426 dual carb'd engine, rebuilt pushbutton trans, had a custom stall built and put in a 3.91 sure-grip rear. All driveline except for rear which is in will be dropped in after paint. Rear pans needed attention so I have cut out the rust and getting ready to weld in new panels. Found some hidden rust under interior rear wheel well panels that I need to address and the rest is going to be stripping down and going over with a fine tooth comb to make ready for some "glossy" black paint. Wish me luck. Check out my profile pics and look at the mess I started. Gotta love it.

    Thank you. I can't take the credit for fabbing in the 2 door or lowering the roof to meet the standard b-body widshield. That credit goes to another Scott who dreamed up and executed the modifications.

    I don't know his last name, but he was from Attleboro, Mass. and spent 4 years of his spare time working on this car. I bought it from him when he decided to buy a truck out of necessity.

    A little of both, most likely alot of street time though. Added some more pics to my gallery, stop by and take a look. Picked up some vintage fenderwell headers off a factory 64 max wedge car that Im going with on mine. They make my hedmann headers look like toothpicks! Also, fitting and massaging in a new ps door due to massive rust problem with other one. Thanks for all the compliments, I am really enjoying this car.
