    As wagon fans, we already dare to be different.

    If anyone needs Photoshop work to help visualize custom mods, just ask.

    Had time to work on the wagon today. Stripped the hood and cutout where the scoops going. Didn't have a big enough piece of sheetmetal to make the scoop though. Have to wait till the metal store opens. Still can't get over how cool a job Steve-E-D did on the photoshop.

    Haven't had time to work on my hood lately. So I thought I would post some pictures of what I've done so far. I plan on painting the engine compartment body color. So after I blasted the wheel wells I put them in primer. That way I can sand them down and lay on some really nice paint.
    Found these sunglass's in the glove box when I was taking the car apart. I call them my Kurt Russel Glass's.

    Thank you. I just need to find more time. I called some people and asked for 28 hours in a day and they said no. Probably for the best.

    These are the "Days of our wagon's". I am going to paint it PPG Liquid Crystal O-So-Orange. The only other exterior mods will be shaving off the side molding and the emblems. Might possibly put some different emblems on. I'm leaving the door handles and locks on. Still thinking about what I'm going to do to the interior, but it won't be stock. Possibly might go with a 2-tone on the exterior, still thinking about it.

    I'm embarrassed to say that all I've gotten done on my wagon this past month is putting the gas door in 1st primer.

    Great work!
