63 wagon makes it back home

[Rolling Thunder]

Finished up on the major bodywork on the ole wagon and finally brought her back home to start blocking and aligning panels. Is either going ivory white or black...I know two opposites but I like both. Will have gold interior. Drove her around for couple years satin black but decided to pull back apart and do alot better this time around.

Repaired floors, replaced front fenders and took down alot of the bodywork that I had done before satin blacking out. The satin hid ALOT of my amateur bodywork but have since gotten a little better.

Black and white pic is of before pulling apart...

More coming home and some before

As it states.

This wagon has been a family affair since bought around 5 years ago.

Wicked. I wonder what the half way mark would be between B.C. and Illinois. Would be cool to see our wrecks battle it out. Keep up the good work.

WICKED right back at ya!! Wow, had never seen your car till now. I LIKE. I had actually thought of altering it but had some reservations about it only because I want to street it but geez does that look great. I've got the same wheel combo also. Wide steels with pie crusts and either thin cragars or some early torque thrusts. They're sitting in the shed waiting. I've got a 426 wedge for her also, can't afford crossram but have inline 2x4's on it right now. Rebuilt pushbutton trans and 3.91 rear all ready to go in. I can't wait to see how she performs.

Wow still thinking about your 64. I love the lines of the 64 dodge wagon.

You'll hate me for saying this but we actually had to sacrifice a '63 Plymouth post car to get the 2dr doors and pillars for our car. It was never coming back but it still felt wrong. Love the '63 Plymouths too even though wee seem to have mostly Dodges in our camp. We have a junker 440 in the hole right now just so we can tune our chassis but we'll put something ridiculous in when we can afford it.

It would be really fun to do up a 2 door wagon like that as a "restoration" and make a BS sign that touts it as 1 of 1 just to see how many people will believe it's real. :laughing11:

Very nice, BTW, but I still liked it in sinister black.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

LOL...I liked the satin black as well but it did not stand up well in the elements. Plus it really was just a quickie to get on road in one color. I've been kicking around idea of it again but ? who knows, I've never been one to easily pick a color and it might go back to that if I can't.

When on road I actually had some guys tell me if I knew how rare the car was and they remembered them lol... had some too tell me they knew where another one was was bought new. Really wow, not interested though as 1's enough.

Best and most endearing comment was when an older man brought his grandson over at the nostalgic drags and was just oozing compliments and telling his grandson how rare this car was as he grew up all around them and had NEVER seen one and even knew they built one. I couldn't let him keep thinking that so had to let him in on my secret.

Black with gold interior is only choice, as I can see. Great and rare combo

 

[OhioMopar]

Awesome. My uncle had one as his daily driver for years. It was still a 4 door, but that grille is forever etched in my memory! Good project!

 

[Basoline]

I love wagons! As chignikred said, black with gold interior would be awesome.

Any updates on your wagon?

 

[Rolling Thunder]

I actually sold our wagon to a buddy of mine. Went through some family changes and needed $ more than car to keep my sons and I afloat.

 

[Dodge 330]

Sorry to hear that but family comes first!
