I wanted a old A body wagon and ol' Lucky me .. found one right here on Moparts !

I looked at several,most were just too far gone and this one fit the bill for what my plans were (kinda)

I was able to afford this gem Oct 2009 , I had hoped to make headway long time ago on it but ..

Life, broken promises, etc all got in the way

Work actually of any fab work stuff, really got started Oct 2013

I had gutted it out, tossed the /6 out long before


In a momemt of weakness, I ponied up for a complete Alterkation front so, right away..the budget was gone !
