    In the midwest that would almost be a mint show car the way it is!
    So, if the floors have a few holes, that's what empty beer cans are for. Believe it or not, my wagon floors were patched on each kickpanel with beer can patches!
    Could even use diet Pepsi cans if someone had some of those crappy things. About all they're good for!:rofl2:

    And I still want that 64. Even if I have to patch the whole body with DP cans!:banana:

    I don't normally like patina----RUST. But just something about that wagon makes me want to clear coat it someway and drive it.

    I agree.....It just shows me the character of the car. How long it has been around, all of the miles, the good times and bad, the family(s) that have owned it, etc. Dont get me wrong, nothing wrong with a straight body and a great paint job like you have Cat, but some cars have the right patins in the right places and it just works!

    Wonder if the defroster will clear this?

    If I had hadn't paid close to $4.00 a gallon yesterday I would try. But not running out today for another 5 hours. Probably be gone by then.
    Can't wait for summer to arrive, but it's nice to know I have the option now. :dancing:

    Wish we'd have seen a lil snow here in GA this winter. Looks like it's not gonna happen. Did u get your vacuum motor for wipers on and going yet?

    Oh ok, back tracked a lil bit here, saw your post on the wiper motor install, glad it worked out, looks like they did a great job on your motor.

    Thank you Dog!

    Hey, whipped this up this morning and thought you guys might like to... give me your opinions. Instead of dark wood panels, I went light. Sort of like the 1936 Woody image that rotates at the top of the forum. Works with my blue and with the final color I want to paint it as well. (You have to have a plan!)
