    :Welcome:thumpdaddy. Looks like the beginning of a nice collection. The door dent may be too much to thump back into shape but it's possible to use the door skin from another wagon.
    Do they sell Bondo by the ton? :huh:

    Can you drive cars that low in Tennessee? I've hit bottom in 3/4 ton trucks.

    Wow, I'm crazy jealous...that's a beautiful 59. That Catalina wagon sounds nice too. I have been a big fan of the early Cats wagon or not.

    Welcome aboard Michael.
    I dig the '59 wagon and your B-body Roadmaster is pretty cool as well...they both look cool slammed.
    Is the 6.0 LS in the '59, or the '96?
    As for the 4-dr sedan passenger door fitting the wagon, it's worth a shot if you can find one.
    I know with G-body wagons, sedan front doors interchange, but the not the rears due to the window frames being different.
    Worse case scenario, I would think you could use the skin off of a 4-dr HT door.
    '63 Pontiac wagons are pretty cool. I remember seeing a Canadian model at a car show years ago. It was powered by a Chevy 409 engine that the guy was including a dual quad setup with the sale.
    GM of Canada used a lot of Chevy engines in various GM models.
