Another Washington wagontrainer

Hi. My name is Pat. I live in East Wenatchee, WA. For those of you that think it rains here all the time.......not true. I live on the east side of the Cascades on the Columbia river. It's MUCH drier on this side and MUCH hotter in the summer. I am primarily a Nova guy. I have a 66 hardtop and a 66 wagon that I converted to a 2 door. It's currently in upholstery jail for finishing. In addition I have a 1933 Ford 4 dr sedan that I've owned since 1982 and a 1932 Oldsmobile 4 dr sedan that goes back to 1973. I just stumbled across this forum today. Thanks for having me.

Welcome to the group. Nice wagon...

 

From one dry side of the state guy to the other, Welcome aboard!
Nice looking Nova. I'd like to see more of it.

 

If you click on one of the pics, it should take you to my flickr album. Lots of pics of several of my builds. The wagon has a 7k mile LS 6 from a crashed 2003 ZO6, 4L65E, 8'' Maverick posi rear with 2.79 gears. I used that ratio because a 2003 Vette with auto uses a 2.73. TCI front clip, March pulley system, Holley Sniper low profile intake, 1.625" headers, cruise, air power seats and windows, tilt/telescopic column from a 66 Caprice, Kenwood with touch screen, navigation, Dakota VHX cluster, flushed windshield, filled cowl area, hidden fuel fill, 17'' x 8'' Americans, custom 24 gallon fuel tank, ceramic coated exhaust system, underside is color matched bed liner. Exterior color is Desert Khaki from a late model Subaru Crosstrek, interior is black leather, factory light green Softray window tint. I bought this car out of Grants Pass from the second owner. She had the car since 1968. No rust out areas, just a few surface areas. I have had my 66 hardtop since 1999 and always wanted to do a 2 door wagon mod. I am very pleased with the results so far. As soon as the interior is complete all that's left is the hood and windshieled install.

Welcome Nova66mussl!

 

Nice looking Nova. Ever come to the Good Guys show in Puyallup? It'd be nice to check out in person when you are done.

 

Yes I do. I am a Goodguys member. I have had my 66 hardtop there a few times.

 

Welcome Pat.

 

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

 

I was wondering if you ever make it down to the Vintiques in Yakima.

 

I never have made it to Yakima show. Usually it's 100 degrees and I look for a cooler place!!! LOL

 

That's true. It can be pretty toasty.

 

It's a pretty good show, wouldn't be a bad drive down.

 

I have thought about making it a day trip. Less than 2 hours for me.
