I got this wagon over a year ago from Mitch at M-E Customs in St. Joseph, MO. This is the picture he put on Layitlow & when I seen it I knew I had to get it! cuz my Dream car was a 59' drop, but the wagon seemed even nicer cuz I never saw one before.

Another classified shot. When I showed the pic to people, they couldn't see what I was so excited about! My uncle said "eww, gross!" & my friends didn't really seem to care either.

Looks like it could be a cool car to cruise once completed. Good Luck on the project :thumbsup:

So I rounded up a truck & my uncles trailer & drove 5 hours to go get it.(With no License in a truck that had no insurance & an unregistered trailer)

People were giving me compliments the whole way back to Iowa every time we stopped.

Right away I started stripping it down to bare steel w/ Aircraft remover & 3M stripping wheels.

MAYBE SOMETHING TO STRIVE FOR ... NOT SURE IF THE SAME EXACT CAR THOUGH :biggrin:

The rear window mechanism was rusted shut preventing the window from moving & the gate from dropping so I had to access the mechanism from the inside panel & pull the window regulator out so I could open the gate.

Good for you bro! Dont ever let anyone change your mind about anything you want. Thats a solid project and eventually it will be one badass cruiser! OG or Lowrider its gonna be badass!

Interior is pretty good with intact seats & couple door panels were decent, but I need to weld in new floor pans front & back.

:0 this should be good :thumbsup:

After I stripped the whole passenger side I put it in primer just to tide it over until I do some sectioning of rust spots & replacing the drivers side quarter.

I dropped out the powerglide, & my plans are to shave the blower motor & clean up the firewall.

THe 1st of this year I moved to Colorado & the Parkwood came with me. I pushed it into my Lean-to, jacked it up onto some 4x4's & jackstands, & rolled the chassis out from underneath it. The chassis was too high so I had to remove the front wheels & drag it through the dirt & concrete on the drums BY MYSELF! Got it out though.

 

[JustCruisin]

Stripped the chassis down & had everything blasted.

Started tracing the frame & got my pieces of 3/16" steel to wrap the Canadian X with.

 

[lowriders2choppers]

good progress.........can't wait to see more.... :biggrin:

 

[JustCruisin]

Having fun in the winter, welding on a classic.

Bottom plated & tunnel cut out.
