    Welcome aboard!
    I agree that the wheels should go, but that's a very cool little wagon.

    Welcome BassAxeWorks. Personally I like the car a lot. I also agree that the wheels gotta go.

    Welcome! I was watching that auction, was curious how much it would go for. You got a good deal, IMO. Yeah, your wagon should be 4 lug since it has a 6cyl, but those are 5 lug Mustang wheels. Hopefully, they did it right, instead of using spacers. Wagon looks great! And will look even better with some different wheels.

    Welcome to the nuthouse! Great wagon! I saw that, and really loved it. You know the obvious, to I'll say nowt about it. The only think I might do, were it mine, is to return it to the original tail lamps. Those ones just don't quite fit the car. There are a couple of lights that will fit right in, depending on the year of the donor car. I'm strange, though, in that I really don't think brake lamps can be too small. What ever you do, enjoy your stay, join in the discussions, and keep up up to date! We love pictures around here, too.

    Thanks again guys!

    Wheels will go as soon as I see whats been done because theoretically I dont think those would have fit without some rolling and opening increases...and I need to know if its spindles or spacers.

    I would have already started but itll be about 10 days till I can get up north to get her. I dont know what spindles or spacers or whats goin on there and im not gonna trust someone else telling me whatever is there is "fine". When she gets here we will go shoppin. One thing I will say is no steelies or caps. I want something a little more modern

    There are plenty of good people at H.A.M.B. However, much of the English-language proficiency from native speakers reflects contemporary dumbed-down schooling. And I don't mean Brits and Aussies. I would have never been able to complete highschool, if my teachers were to read posts at that level. The way some of them spell, I can almost here their dialects.
    What's worse is when the mods posess at most an equal amount of language proficiencey. One of my posts was over some mod's head there, as I was giving an early hemi buyer tips on how to squeeze the maximum amount of horsepower out of the engine he was proposing to buy:
    :slap: Whatever. So, because he's too retarded to follow, everyone else has to keep their carburetors and contact point ignition systems. Good going. Now that guy likely got discouraged from his project altogether.
    Since then, I boycott that place, until the administrator decides to sort it out
