Well, I had been gathering parts for sometime to build a pro street car and Waggin II was all set to be low and mean, this plan went out the window as I have decided to build a "wheelstander" In my travel's i bought a 440 that ran high 11's on junk tires in a full bodied dart gts with a cage and full interior, then a narrowed Dana 60 with 14 wide by 15" slick's on centerlines with a 5:50 gear and strange axels then I aquired a 4500 stall converter, a short tailshaft 727 and lastly a 205 transfer case to make the build as a rear of mid engined car, i havent made that decision but am leaning towards mid engined. so today while doing customer work I had extra 2 k primer left in the gun and decided to apply the leftover to the already in epoxy fender. this is the most rust free fender I have ever seen and it's sister is as nice, she and the hood will be next into the shop whenever I'm sprayin primer for customer work. i'll gather whatever pic's I can and add them here as i go if you wish to follow the build, comments and idea's welcome and appreciated..........Wagg's

I may eng up building a set of steel 15" wheels and keepin the poverty cap's on her just to fool a few , I used a set of 13" full wheelcovers and attached the poverty caps from behind with a few sheetmetal screws and they fit into the centerlines nicely, I havent tried that on the front's yet but that's on my list,otherwis I'll be building wheels to keep the front weight down

Pardon the ignorance, but what's the benefit of using a "mid-engine" setup in a wagon?
