Thanks Mark!

Scratch built some door handles.

 Finished the battery.

Run both sets of the exhaust system. One set goes to single glass packs and another piped out to the back with dual mufflers to keep her nice and quite when needed.

As an extra sleeper feature I installed little dribbler systems into the rear mufflers to make it appear to smoke.

Also changed out the rear tail lights. I was going to use the kits but looking at 1:1 pictures I noticed they don't stick out as far as the kits, not on the wagon at least so I made my own.

Kits original.

Mine.

Also I thought I would add a extra small little detail, valve streams to the tires.

The finish line is in sight, should have it fully finished tomorrow.

Thanks Tony!

It's done and soon to be under glass. Thanks to all who watched and commented, this was my first and likely only build of 15' also my first heavy weathered build.

I LOVE the sleeper look of this.  You would think it's just a weathered beater sitting on the table until you open the hood and look underneath.  Lovin it.
