    Brought the wagon home from the body shop today. Its good to have it home, but the plan is to get the Charger back on the road first. So I'll be lucky if this one is back on the road a year from now.

    Actually it's turquoise. That's my 68 Plymouth Barracuda convertible. My buddy is doing a front end rebuild on the suspension. Its never been done before. Even the shocks were factory original from 1968.
    Oh, and Fannie, I've been meaning to ask, how is your Beaumont wagon coming along. I'm anxious to see that rare wagon complete.

    Me too. However we have lost momentum but not our desire. We have a couple of other irons in the fire at the moment. Sadly she has taken a back seat. But she is waiting quietly waiting for us to dust her off and get back at her. Thank you for asking.

    Sadly, I have that problem also. And now, having moved to Texas, I don't have the run of a garage anymore. But my Ranchero made the 2000-mile trip with only a ruined tire.

    I guess that means that on my next cross country drive on US 2 I won't be able to stop by and say hi.

    Unfortunately true. But there's plenty of U.S. highways here in Seguin, like U.S. 90.

    Yeah, I missed meeting people up there, but there are peeps to meet here, and I'm room and boarding with Joe (Leadslead) and his family.

    I hope, Mrs. Leadsled isn't allergic to cats or did you leave her in Washington. Cat's are known for finding their way interstate to their former residence anyway

    No, she's not, and yes, Bucky made the trip with me.

    Looks like the interior of a 92-96 Ford F-series super cab.

    Well, it's been a long time coming, but I am finally giving the interior of the Fury some much needed attention. Before the end of the year I decided to bite the bullet and ordered kits for the front and middle seats as well as a carpet kit.

    I went into quite a bit of detail here: http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/travels-of-the-fury.46361/page-13

    But here's the gist of "what I have done to my wagon lately":

    I pulled out the seats yesterday to have them recovered as well as pulling out the carpet.

    Hauled the seats to the upholstery shop to get the new covers installed:

    I'm pretty excited. I can't wait to get it all put back together.
