    Thanks Jim, I was looking at some reference wagons and most of them had racks on them and I thought about how I could build one and decided that it would not be that hard so I think I have the hard part done now anyways. I will pick up the remaining parts tomorrow then to make it chrome.

    I have now glued the front k-frame and rear axel in place and did another test fit to check out the alinement. I have a couple paint burns to fix and a ton of BMF to install.

    Worked on getting the rear grill with the lights installed. I need to fill in the gaps on both sides I may try some BMF. I BMF the bumper to fix the chrome that peeled off. I'm going to order a new 66 Monaco bumper from Modelhaus as it has the back up lights like the wagon has.

    I was able to get the windows installed and changed out the tires with the AMT Firestone deluxe tires. I'm waiting on my new back bumper to arrive before the final assembly. Here are my test fitting as of today. The rear bumper is the one with BMF on it.
