I like the way you transported it.

rarechev · Guru

It's a tilt bed trailer and i put a winch at the front so it was very easy to load.

Are you going to support the body ,for the trip down the road.So it won't sage on you because must roads are bumpy

rarechev · Guru

Well i got the bottom blasted then sprayed on some epoxy primer to keep the rust out till i do the repair work.

I was thinking i should support it but i only had to go 3 miles and it went off without any problems at all.

looking good. A little work up front by the toe board. Not bad at all.

Looking pretty clean there Dan, not too shabby, a little work and as good as new. wink

Nice job!
And it's interesting to see the underside of a wagon for the first time as well.

Very nice job ! How long did it take you to strip the wagon down to this point ? You must have taken alot of pics to be able to put everything back together, I take it is not going to be easy. I noticed the reinforcing braces under the floors, does the fuel tank sits in the pocket in the trunk floor ?

fuel tank sits in the fender space behind the drivers side rear tire. Spare tire sits in the fender space behind the passenger side rear tire. Bottom of spare tire well looks a little rusty.

i think it took around a week but not sure i stripped it last fall,as far as putting it back together shouldn't be to hard been repairing cars a long time (body man), and i have another for parts and reference. the gas tank mounts vertically in the right quarter behind the rear wheel.

rarechev · Guru

no it's not a little rusty! it's alot gone. any ideas as to were i can find a good one? with the many different contours it's going to be very hard to reproduce.

I parted out a 70 Safari Estate wagon last summer (mainly got the 454 and turbo 400). Its spare tire well was non-existant as well. If Hillar was here he could attest to it as he was tinkering in that area to get the rear speaker. I think he dropped a screwdriver or something into the well and it went straight to the shop floor.
