    Not much to look at but, pretty solid. In this picture I have just removed the trans (powerglide) and engine (194-six).
    Have the power glide rebuilt and assembling the 194. It's going to be a every day driver and parts runner and toy puller! With gas prices the way they are I decided to stick with the small 194 for now anyway. Also, installed the complete deluxe CPP tubular front end but, still need to align and work out a few quirks. And, installed the full bearing idler arm which made a big difference in the steering.

    Thanks! I also would like to replace the stock drum braking system but, that will have to wait for awhile.

    Welcome to CHR. We've got a couple of active guys in Springfield so you're in good company. Nice wagon, and totally understand keeping the six with petrol pricing.
