The "NotRod" 6spd DGGM '94 Roadmaster Wagon Refurbishment Album

6/30/19 - Oil Change Fun on the 6spd wagon. Synthetic 5W30 and a fresh filter. Runs like a watch...a FAST and LOUD watch!



Coming Along!

-Michael

 

Looking good Mike! Nothing like fresh fluids.

 

Does the wagon have rear air suspension?

 

Yes it does, with controls and a gauge mounted in the rear side panel.

 

I thought so. It wasn't squatting when it was up on the ramps.

 

7/3/19 - Polishing the wood outline trim on the 6spd wagon. If the rag doesn't turn black, you're not working hard enough!!






Wax On-Wax Off! Making it SHINE!!



Backed the car out after waxing. For those that asked to see the Hella lights behind the grill turned on, here you go! BRIGHT!!





Such Fun!

-Texas Mike

 

7/4/19 - Freshly-waxed and gleaming, both the paint and the woodgrain. Almost done with this Roady and it REALLY came out well.



Detailed underhood pics. Lots of cleaning, painting and detail work done on this refurbishment. Will miss this wagon!






Nearly Done! Green 6spd wagon is scheduled to go back home this coming weekend. Will miss this view...but my wife won't miss it



-Mike

 

Nicely done Mike.

So.
Would they be "Hella bright!"?

It's all about the DETAILS!!

-Mike

 

7/6/19 - Carpet scrubbed, leather cleaned and then Lexol'd, and dash, door panels and interior totally clean. Really neat car! So many well-done custom details! The way GM should have built these!












Will really miss this one!

7/7/19 - Finally delivered the 6spd wagon yesterday. Really a nice Texas Hill Country trip! Beautiful weather and the car ran great! My stepdaughter Lili followed me in the HHR I recently built for her, and it made the trip fine too. Yesterday was Lili's first day off in six days (She's working at the Sonic drive-in this summer to save for college at Texas State this fall, SO proud of her!). We visited friends, had a nice lunch on Lake Marble Falls, and stopped at a big state park on Lake Travis and swam for a few hours on the way home. We both had a really great time. Was fun seeing Richard's Roadmaster Sedan I'd refurbished back in 2017 parked next to the 6spd wagon when we got there too. Nice to see good friends, and also enjoyed spending the day with my Lili girl! Good times! Already miss that Roady!











Another Project Done!

-Texas Mike

 

Nice! You attack the grime no one else goes after in detailing a car; I do it to an extent, if the car is worth it in getting sold, but I need to do it on my 2000 Century because I'm tired of looking at the schmutz.

 

I love little details like this. Makes all the difference!
