    Mama's 57

     



    Well had it together now apart to paint engine compartment. She wants it ready for a show in town on the 14th of July. Newly rebuilt 305 will power this as I want it to be trouble free.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Looks great Charlie. Isn't it amazing how popular (and expensive) station wagons have become? I can see the reasons though, very practical and, done like yours, very cool.

    Been a while but it takes longer when working on 2 cars and everything else that comes along. The headliner is about in rear glass is in and what makes it nice I can drive it in and out. the posie on ice is fun but other than that it ain't bad. Glad the wife isn't pushing on this.
