What have you done to your wagon lately? (Let's keep the thread going!)

Plate Frame for the 64

Took a trip to the NHRA museum in Pomona and found this for the 64.

 

Got the side trim installed to see how its gonna look.......

 

Sad to say, living in So Cal my whole life up to '09, I never visited Lions......or OC Raceway. OC Raceway was closed in '83, and I had moved there in '81.

 

The one on Imagination Lane? OK.

Fun driving, Huh?

Hm, Is that the case?

Like this?



With a green unicorn?

(I thought I'd link something station-wagon related.)

 

If I get out of the dentist office early enough (only a cleaning), I am going to try to get my wagon to the shop to have a new exhaust system put on, as well as have new rear shocks put on.

It MAY have to wait until Tuesday, we will see I guess.

 

That is gonna look so good! What color are you painting the wagon?

 

Painted the rear trim on the Fury:

What a different a little paint on the trim can make! Looks great!

I've been really busy on body work. I need to get this painted and reassembled so I can start driving it!

 

Well I have to take the wagon tomorrow, as he said it will take 2 hours and after my dentist appointment it will be too late.

He said if it needed the entire exhaust system that it will run me around $260.00 and they will put on the shocks for $30.

I am slowing making progress on this car, but wow, it is costing me. lol.

 

I spent $277.00 on it today... new exhaust (complete) and new rear shocks. Rides like a dream.

 

Not a bad price to make your dreams come true. We need pictures of your teeth!

 

lol! No, I am slowly getting there with it! Oh yeah I was at the dentist on Monday and he was upset that I still have perfect teeth. He cannot make any money off of me. LOL!

I managed to also get my seat moved back today, took care of a squeaky brake pedal plunger and put my rear view mirror back on.

 

The Zeph

I finally installed my aluminum valve covers. I bought them cheap, but ended up putting a lot of elbow grease into them. Makes a big difference, now I need to paint the air cleaner and polish the lid...

 

Step Plate

The step/load plate on the 64 was like a sill plate ,just thin aluminum and was beat to death. A friend works for a place that does chemical milling on aircraft parts. He had the emblem and depth chemically machined and the grooves where machined in and then the whole thing was polished.
