    Hi, I just joined the club today and it's nice to find some other people who think wagons are cool. I'm here in Maryland and I currently own a 1960 Oldsmobile Fiesta Wagon I bought a year and a half ago, gonna start on it soon, currently I'm working on the garage it's coming onto. The car is in decent shape body wise, chrome is all there except "Oldsmobile" script accosts the tailgate. Some of you might have seen the car advertised for sale a couple years ago, it's hard to forget a Montana car sitting on a 4 X 4 chassis with a 500 Caddy motor, no doubt the results of free time and a case of two of beer. I'm a mechanic by trade and not really a body man but I'm gonna try my hand at it when the car is separated from the tumor it's sitting on. Oops, forgot to include my name, it's Shawn but here on the posts I'm going by Romo, I'm a big Cowboys fan but that's neither here nor there. I don't have tons of time to post but I'll check in when I can.

    Welcome aboard Shawn.
    If I understand correctly, you're going to pull the body off of the 4X4 chassis? Have you located a replacement frame?
