New long roof project


Been wanting one of these long roof family cruisers for years(something to fit a car seat and a 130 pound fat Jesus dog). Soooo, I bit the bullet. Sold one of my Camaros and started searching. Found this one in Vulcan (Live long and prosper) Alberta. I wanted a driver, so of course I bought a complete project. Needs the everything done basically. BUT, having said that, I wanted to build a car and have it be mine and not, there goes Steve in Dave's old car. So here is the humble begining of the new family truckster. 56 Pontiac 4 door wagon. Since its still in original paint with no rust holes (and I already have a 56 pontiac project that gives me 5 parts cars), the body is perfect as is. It will get a geometry corrected new tubular front suspension, I have a 355 posi for it, new interior and I have a 2001 gmc truck with a 6L LS drivetrain. Gonna be a drive around the world car. Cruise, AC ad HP. A few weekends, the odd evening and I will see you on Paradise Road.

Very cool. You're doing what I wanted to do with a 70 Kingswood wagon. Update it, but keep the patina!

I have a photo of my wagon in front of the Starship in Vulcan as well. Mine is the size of a Battle cruiser! biggrin

The Chevelle turned out nice. The customer put a couple thousand miles on it trouble free. He said I nailed it. Exactly what he wanted. Always happy to hear that. That was such a nice car to drive, I wanted to keep it. Haha
