    He,he,he you guys are to sharp!I looked at a 1957 ford 4 dr wagon.The motor(a 351c and c6) is fresh and the front and rear have been subframed.But the more I work on the rambler.....Its such a solid car,I kinda hate to part with it.My reserve is twice what I have in it( but less than 2K)so we'll see.I bought all the parts for the brake/frt end rebuild.I have car a.d.d. but I love wagons!Dave
