    I`ve been building wagons since 1987 when my dad bought my first one, 79 Ford Fairmont. It was practical because I ride BMX and hauled my friends around. I painted it camoflauge and the license plate said Team War. from then on I customized everything I owned and I did alot of wagons. My biggest achivement was my 59 Dodge Sierra aka The Great Pumpkin. I sold that about 7 years ago to buy my house but built others afterwards. Check out my past rides. Sorry I don`t have all of them, I`m not a take a picture type of guy.

    Current projects are to build up my money so I can get a project. Last years doctor bills killed my toys, I sold my 87 Grand National and 64 Riviera :( I`m thinking of building a 70s ride. The past few years I`ve been telling everybody that the next few years we`ll see 70s rides start showing, stock and custom. I wouldn`t mind doing a early 70s Mopar or mid 70s GM.
    The edsel :slap: my uncle bought it for my brother but then was handed down to me. We got it at a car show from the original owner. He couldn`t drive so his neighbor drove the car to the show which was 2 streets from his house. The owner walked home to get the title because he forgot it. All original including the recapped biasply tires. Very good condition, mint! I drove it that way for a few months then got sick of it because it wasn`t a cool car at the time.
    I had alot of wagons, here`s my list from the day I started driving.
    79 Ford Fairmont
    78 Madza :hide:
    81 Fairmont
    80 Malibu
    83 Malibu
    61 Chevy Brookwood
    58 Brookwood
    59 Dodge
    66 Nova
    68 Coronet
    91 Caprice
    92 Olds Custom Cruiser
    61 Brookwood
    93 Roadmaster
    58 Brookwood
    95 Caprice
    Wagons I want....
    early 50s Chevy
    59 Impala
    60-61 Plymouth
    early 60s Chrysler hardtop
    62 Chevy (any model)
    65-66 Impala
    early 70s Mopar
    75-76 Caprice
    mid 70s Buick
    any year Cadillac
    94-96 Caprice with Cadillac nose
    I like big cars but I wouldn`t mind having a Corvair, Vega, and Pacer.

    And this is what I used to paint for the past 15 years. I always did old cars for side work. But the BMX has taken over but I still do car occasionally.
