    I saw a somewhat similar wagon once, and thet had blacked out the window frames and b pillar, but left the c pillar and behind alone. It ended up looking almost like a 4 door hardtop wagon, which was neat.

    Very Good job and like the look. Was going to lower my 71 Squire but on 2" in the front. Best mod so far was the Addco rear sway bar. Worth every penny. Cool beans ride you have.:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Handling is a lot better - it was pretty worn out. I am going to look into a rear sway bar. Ride is less "floaty", it stiffened up considerably from stock. Here's a pic from the car show tonight:

    I'm going to go ahead with the black out on the other side. I did try seeing what just the C pillar looked like - if I removed the door handles it would look like a 2 door (kinda) to me. Anyway, I think I'll just do the same as I did on the driver's side. Thanks everyone for the feedback and kind words!
