Volare Wagon

Ive had it for about 2 years now. Progress is a little slow moving along as funds become available. Im going with manual steering and brakes for both feel and room for the big block. I managed to score a police certified 125mph speedometer and oil pressure gauge, NOS taillamp lenses and parking light lenses. Also got a Pete Jackson gear drive for the 383. Going with the slotted police car wheels to give it a semi-stock look.

 

Crash..there is a outfit that makes a mount for the power brake booster that swings it over and up...i just cant recall who

check out www.MPPOWERBRAKE.COM
..they do the 2"UP version for the dodge and a 40degree angle one for the bronco's

 

I may kick myself later for it but I went with the manual brakes for a little cleaner look and better feel. I got a booster setup just in case I want to change my mind. With the low deck 383 there is enough room to run the power steering and the brakes (or so I hear anyway). Just wanted to go with something a little different. (also got a cop car firm power steering box just in case). Thanks for the info though

 

I went with manual discs on both my trucks, and works fine for me. Did have a friend drive one once and said he thought it took awhile to stop, but he is used to his 2004 car with 4 wheel discs and who knows what else helping it slow down.

 

Sorry havent been on here much lately. Been busy getting married and getting my own place. I live about an hours drive away from where my wagon is so it takes a bit to go tinker with it. I did get some better sheetmetal put in for the floor pan and the inner fender. Actually got a good 440 to drop in there too

 

ya got married???....well hecks bells man..
...CONGRATS..

 

Congrats on the marriage

 

Thanks guys. I got a friend that may let me keep it in his garage which is only about 15 minutes away. Would make it a lot easier to go tinker on it

 

Does your new bride know you tinker? Congrats and nice to see the car's coming along.

 

She knows I tinker. She knows where to find me and that Im not getting into anything that way.

 

A few more updates. The 440 is in :banana:

 

lookin good, you're making more progress than I am with my StyleLine that's for sure!

 

By the looks manual brakes was the easiest solution. Nice work.

 

Looks great Crashed. Keep up the good work.

 

Interesting project....don't see many K cars these days. Pics show some skilled work going on, will be fun watching the progress. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima
