    Hey everybody, my name is Chris and I am restoring a 1959 Willys wagon. I currently have the body on a rotisserie that I built and I have replaced the entire rear floor, x member and am working on hanging new quarter panels. I will be putting the drivetrain from my 84 Chevy into the wagon. I have some questions on how to finish the floor where I cut it, but I will ask them in another section. I have to say this is a very unique message board, lots of cool rides here.:beerchug:

    Thanks guys, my wife bought this wagon for me as a xmas gift. I initially thought it was in pretty good shape but the more I tore into it the worse it got, then lo and behold it was off the frame and the resto began. I'm hoping to have it roadworthy for next summer.....I made the new bed floor from a 2002 Chevy long box.

    I figured north some where because of your coat rack colection (antlers) hanging in the shop. Been up that way a few times in my younger years, beautiful country:cheers:
