    Thanks. An amazing transformation. I'm sure a few members would like to have the jeep seat for lounging at cruise ins.

    That Heep seat was hilarious. I'd have the springs bottomed out.

    If I were to make a pick this year at Autorama it would hands down be the 61 Chevy 2dr Wagon conversion. Maybe it is because I am currently doing a similar (much more lower budget) conversion on a 66 Malibu Wagon, or maybe it is because this 61 is simply a very well designed and beautiful creation.
    Saw several other cool wagons and as always enjoyed meeting new people and checking out other interesting ideas.

    Frankly, I like the look of the 'regular' '61 Chevy wagon better, even though it was not available as a 2-door....
