A boy and his Station Wagon..

[V-100]

I'm trying to come up with a name for the car. I think its a male, because its not been a b!#ch to me like a couple other cars I've had in the past. Any ideas?

Bob.

Eh, my friends name is "barracuda" bob. That would be kinda weird.

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

Call it Fred

 

[Rockerdude]

Hmm.. Fred the Wagon. Unusual. I like it.

 

[Rockerdude]

Exhaust turned out great!

Once it's started and broken in I will post a walk around video.

Good to meet Fred. My Daughters named my 65 Stan Willy, same initials as Station Wagon

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

Hmm.. Fred the Wagon. Unusual. I like it.

My good friend Harold came over today and rewrapped my under-hood harness, made it all nice and pretty. Will post pics of that tomorrow.

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

What wires? Looks great

 

[Rockerdude]

This was before we installed the harness, it got dark so I will take pictures tomorrow.

Well guys, today I had the chance to buy one of the real 1965 Dart Charger factory 4 speed car for 3 grand in nearly flawless shape.. THAT would have been a trip. I have a thing for 65 Gt Coupes, ESPECIALLY 4 speed commando cars. I don't want to trade my wagon for it, BUT maybe something will happen..

 

[caferacerx]

flawless 4 speed???
go for it!!!:burnout:

 

[Rockerdude]

Thats what Im thinking, Ive been really low on fundage unfortunately though after I lost my job.. :/

[Rockerdude]

Thanks pettyblu. I have a bbp disc setup but it needs bushings and ball joints.

[baracus]

Good job man, that a cool unique car.

 

[Rockerdude]

Got a couple more things done today, cleaned the grille and head light doors up a bit and installed them.

Started the wagon for the first time today! The MSD box was not working correctly. Sounds good, nice and mild sounding. Broke the cam in just fine. I will post a bid after I get the bugs worked out.
