Most of the hard work is now done, still a ways to go

Plan is a small block with a OD trans

Still trying to decide on what to do there

Floors , few other fab items and it will roll again

Then I'll make the interior nice , most of the outside is going to stay as is

Love old wagons and builds like this - I'll follow!

Have you decided to keep it?

Of all the mods that have been done to it so far, the one I like most is the transformation to a sedan delivery with the blue tape!

Well...DUH!! I pretty much figured that. If you take the glass out, you risk ruining the fragile and mostly non existent seals. Somebody in Australia sells them, but getting them here would cost more than the seals themselves. I guess if you had a redheaded buddy in CA, you might get them here cheaper.

Lol

Made more progress , everything is all welded up and the housing is cut and ordered ends and new axles they should be here in a few days

and, it will once again roll !

Decided once and for all, the trans is going to be a 727 like I 1st planned

I'm going to use a short case to start with and if I hate the only having 3 forward gears, I'm going to install a gear vendor


The 360 and the trans will be sitting in this week


More pics coming soon

I always thought a turbocharged small block early-A wagon would be cool.

Turbo is the plan

Short 727 is a great idea if you're going with a GV. A regular 727 with the GV added is a mile long. If you used one of those, you'd have a 4" driveshaft...lol. Go ahead and install the GV to start with....it's only money!

360 found its way into its spot for mock up purpose

roll cage shot

It rolls !
