    Welcome, clapperc!
    That G Wagoneer looks real clean. Was that pic before paint?
    Not too many Wagoneer owners here for some reason, but I'm sure we have a few who know a lot about them.

    On the way to the paint-shop. The paint was not that bad. So originally I was going to spot/section paint, which ended up being about 80% of the vehicle. A little more trim removal, a few more $'s... What ya gonna do!

    :Welcome:to the wagon train, clap. I have always loved those Grand Wagoneers. They were prone to rust here in WI but I jumped on any that were from non rust belt areas and weren't rusty for my car lot. The only other problem that I recall was gas mileage. I loved them but they were thirsty. They were really a big comfy ride with 4WD when you needed it. Yours looks cherry. 360 engine I presume.

    I too have admired wagoneers! I got a job as a car salesman in '92. There was still one new one left on the lot. So, I have the honor of having driven/interacted with one when new.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for all the kind Welcomes! The most important issue I need to resolve right now is locating drip rail moldings. Aftermarket I’m thinking. So, if you have any ideas… Let me know. Thanks!

    Yeah... I've reached-out to all I know of for drip-rail. Even the Grand Wagoneer restoration folks. No-go. The hunt continues! :banghead3:
