Working on a replacement door for ps. Skin is really bad and already has patches in it so I cut out window frame from door and will be grafting it in to a rust free ht door I had laying around.

Was hoping new rear pans would have welded themselves in by now but no such luck. Next step measuring, trimming, fitting and welding.

I love seeing a wagon being done. This one is just badazz. Don't know why it caught my eye, it is hard to explain but it is one I will be watching...the black and white do look great.

THanks Goat. I've been a wagon lover since as long as I can remember and this one has been my favorite. I am wanting to get it really straight and go with a deep glossy black for that sinister look. I've thought of a few different colors that would look nice but really want the car to look evil and perform like it also.

I agree on the black and it will look great but I like the hot rod flat black also. They both are sinister looking. I was going to do my Duster all black and put the true fire blue colors to put a skull on the front plate and call it sinister. Keep up the work and keep posting pics.

Bolted in replacement door today to align so I can get window frame spaced correctly before welding.

Well car is now COMPLETELY apart. Took it over to a buddies place and we've started smoothing it out and replacing rear floor pans. Pans are almost done but when started sanding rear quarters found that the shop that welded in my lower patch panels warped the heck out of them. There was not a flat section to be found. So after alot of sanding and massaging their coming along nicely. They have a skim coat on them now and hopefully can be saved for some gloss black paint. Rest of car is very nice with minimal putty in it. Had bought a set of rust free fenders and my doors are really nice also. If we can get lower 1/4s right its going glossy black. Wish me luck and probably better yet....PATIENCE.
