    So where in Washington do you hail from? I'm up in Everett, and Jeremiah (OrthmannJ) is over in Yakima. BTW, your Chevy wagon's looking like it's coming together quite well.

    Welcome aboard Pat,
    Those are two cool wagons. One survivor and a super nice 2-dr conversion. Always liked the Nova wagons...first and second generation.
    Years back I wanted to do a 2-dr conversion on my Malibu...it just never happened. Being that it was my daily driver, I couldn't lay it up that long.

    I didn't realize it was the same car in different stages. Thanks for explaining that.
    I assume that you used 2-dr coupe doors, etc, for the transformation.
    At least you started the project with a nice solid, rust free car...not some terminal rust bucket.
    Thanks for sharing the pics, video, etc.

    I used 2 door sedan doors which have a full side glass frame. I leaned the rear vertical part forward slightly to match the angle at the upper door panel.

    I have a "newbee" question. What does the number in the little red box above the "garage" in the upper band mean?

    It’s the number of wagons you’ve put, or posted to the American/Europe/foreign wagon category in your garage. Hope that helped.
