First off, Welcome.

Sounds like you have some major plans for your wagon. Can't wait to see some pics as your build continues.

Driver side..this is where i was surprised a bit...after pulling the window...which was ducked on when i got it....i figured the channel wold be rusted out because of the lower quarter rust out....but...it was in pristine shape with no damage...so not quite sure how the quarter became so rusted unless this window has been ducked taped for many many years....lol

Funny thing is ..I got a great shop behind the house for doing this stuff. But garage is full of the high dollar cars, so I am old schooling it in the driveway for now on some of the simpler stuff, at least until i get down to some serious fab time. We have one more car show we have to make coming up in 3 weeks...after that i wont be taking the 35 out for a bit..so i think we will move it around to the shop and get her up in the air again for the bags
