ill be sure to colletc more photos as i go
:thumbup: build photos need more build ha ha but your station wagon is unique, not many around for sure... I like the way you appreciate older vintage cars & trucks... Like the elderly folks the old oodball cars are most often just ignored 'n neglected... I once owned a 1958 Nash Rambler SW... I was young and ashamed to be seen driving it -- how ding ding of me & today that car is a really rare gem worth much more than it cost new...
Thx 4 da Inspiration Salteen

Oh and its got that quad 2 bbl intake too!
It made new York to LA in 29:35 (aiming for 30) setting the cannonball full size pick up record and it also set a record for the most gas carried (i think). I put 2 70 gallon tanks in the bed (~160 gallons) putting my driving range to almost 1100 miles (9 mpg average)
I made 1 15 minute fuel stop half way and averaged 93.1 mph but maintaining about 130 mph most of the way.
I got home and purchased 6 cars.
