    A friend told me of this site (which i never knew existed) what a great place to exchange and gather information. I own a thunderbird and ford facility which was started 29 years ago in the houston, texas area. Although we deal primarly with the ford line, i have always wanted a 50's rambler wagon since i let a 1955 cross country excape as being my first car. Finally found a 59'rambler american that had been sitting out for approx 25 years and was in "better than average" condition. Had visions of placing a chevy s-10 drive train and suspension under it.....when....checked the motor and it was not frozen!!! With a very little bit of work, it started and ran very well. Have decided not do conversion and project is coming along very well. Should be ready for the road in couple of months. Look forward to hearing from anyone with similar wagon.......thanks, lance

    :Welcome:Lance. That's great you found an old wagon like you used to own. A great choice to be different. That wagon will look nice parked in your showroom after it is finished. Most people today will think it's a new Ford!:rofl2:
