    I've seen that red one on the net in a few places! It's beautiful!! I'd love to know what he did to lower it, I've gotta get mine down to earth!

    Thanks for the kind words everybody! I'll be home around the first of August and will get some pics of the wagons I have aquired! I will be getting the better of the two straightened out and sent off to my buddy for paint. I'll do the wiring and engine once we get it back. Sms autofabrics has the doorpanels and just about everything else we need to square away the interior, and I have a good pullout 5.3 that will go right in! Between the three cars, I don't believe I'm missing anything! I'll look into the hardtop wagon idea, but the tape measure will be the deciding factor there!

    Once I get everything together that I need, I'll be glad to help folks out with parts if they need them.

    Matt

    Oh, and Dennis, I've spent many a day with some of the Aussies here in Afghanistan and have to say they are some of the best guys to hang out with! I spent a month at an outpost with them and began to sound just like 'em! "Cheers" and "No Worries" along with a few other colorful words became part of my everyday vocabulary!! I try to go out their way every chance I get!!
