    Hi - I am new to the forum, does anyone know where to get the faux wood grain for the sides, fenders etc? I would appreciate all leads on this. Thank you

    Welcome! Would love to see some pics of that wagon. Got a couple cp guys here on the forum. Check out the the thread at the very top of "cosmetic and restoration " should be able to answer your woodgrain queries. Also introducing yourself to the "welcome wagon" thread will keep you from being accused of drinking our beer. Don't ask me, I still don't know where they keep it

    Are you kidding? We have our own beers of the Northwest. Rainier, Weinhart's, Red Hook, and about a bazillion local craft breweries. A high school buddy of mine owns one. His Fat Bastard Ale is to die for.

    :Welcome: Tommy. Go here first,
    The Welcome Wagon then follow the restoration and wood grain threads. There's no free beer here. Only at Grizz's house while he's out playing with his kids.

    The wagon is definitely cool, and I have parts for sale, if you need something to repair or replace inside the car, but I'm interested in the two military trucks. When did you score those, and if you don't mind my asking, how much each?

    My parts thread, start on this page, posts 72 and 73. I need to get back in and finish the re-inventory. So if there's something you want or need but don't see, don't hesitate to ask.

    Nice car, I like those colours but then I'm partial to them, my '77 colony park is the same colour combo.
