    I have decided on these two images as how my 4-speed 67 Ambassador wagon will look when completed. These are unfinished but I think I will go with the one without hood scoop and add the roofrack. Might go with the old school Cagar SS wheels instead of these in the image.

    Nice job. Wish I could do that. I like it better without the hood scoop.

    #1 but, personally, I'd run Tourque Thrusts instead of those Chip Foose looking things (not that there's anything wrong with those on the right car.)

    Yup...I like the clean and stock look on the first pick. I'm not a fan of those wheels, though.

    As is usually the case, I'm in complete agreement with the Fox. Definitely prefer it without the hood scoop, but a roof rack would be a nice touch. Being the "factory stock original" fan that I am, I'd go for some whitewalls and the correct wheel covers, but Cragars might be nice on it as well.

    Now that looks period correct with the wheels :dancing:
    Add pass-side mirror and cut the front license plate in half ( horiz), leave enough just for the words too distracting against the car.:jumping:

    Love the color! Also, I've always liked the look of a contrasting color (usually silver) lower third on the body like you depict, with the matching small accent stripe just above. Real classy.

    As to the scoop, I've never really liked the Rebel Machine scoop. Kinda clunky IMO. I think this one is much sleeker....

    Yeah, I like this latest version...and your artistic skills! I like that you retained the Ambassador script on the hood, and also the hood ornament. Cragers look good on that wagon, too! The silver lower section looks good, and I like the no hood scoop look, but if you want it to have one, Krash has the right idea!

    Nice! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    The Cragars look great, the roof rack too. try these, you know how great they look with red walls or solid black.
    If your going to spend the cash, Coker's got the wide ovals... just a thought... Looks great tho, no doubt.

    I vote for the last version - with the Cragars and roof rack.
    Love the colors, too!
