Greetings all, I have a 1975 Chevelle station wagon that I will be doing a resto-mod rebuild on over the coming months and years. This is going to be my primary family vehicle since I will need 6 seats starting in September when my 4th child arrives. I’ve never been a minivan person and anything (wagon wise) in current production is too small or too slow or is driving the wrong wheels. This particular station wagon has a lot of family history. It has been in our family for all but one year of its life. I grew up riding in it, it moved us (hauling a large trailer) from Washington to Arizona, I learned to drive in it, I helped rebuild my first engine for it and the list goes on. Finally it is my turn to raise my kids with the help of this unwavering member of our family. This old wagon has a lot of wear and use showing after 400,000 miles so it really needs some rebuilding. As for me, I’m an engineer involved in the automotive aftermarket. I’ve been a hot rodder for as long as I’ve been able to speak the words. Speed and horsepower could easily be my middle names. I’ll do my best to document the project as it proceeds but this is also a budget project so much of the work will be done by me. I’m more than willing to lend a technical hand when I can and I look forward to your help and input as well.
to the wagon train, burn. We love those one family wagons from one gen to the next. Hope you take it another 400K.
to the wagon train, burners. There is just a small group of us who still have the same family wagon we grew up with. Its great to see another one still truckin'
Hi burner, welcome aboard. Nice intro. A family of four will fit just fine in that great looking wagon...congrats on the new baby I'll be looking forward to your installments of your rest.
