Awesome build! It's off to a great start!

Awesome builds 1/24 and 1:1, cool pumpkins too.

Very cool build, awesome to see the straight six in there.

Awesome build, sharp and clean.

Very nicely done!

Stunning build Shane, very beautiful wagon.

Thank you for the kind and awesome words everyone. I'm pushing it as far as I can trying to get it done in time. Memysel, I too really like wagons and am a huge Mopar fan myself. I like a challenge, the bigger the better and I also like trying to make something that is unique at the time. The story behind this build is I like bringing Mopar to the Cannonball cbp and this years Sleeper theme really knocks out a lot of candidates, they just don't make believable sleepers, not to me at least. So this created another challenge for me, build a Mopar and fool myself with it. I knew I would have to go either 4 door or wagon if I wanted to do a pre 74' build. So when I was looking for candidates I typed in 4 door Mopar on Google and the first picture that catch my eye was a 64' Polara Wagon. It was fully restored and white but when I saw it it said "I'm the one". So after of searching I found that the car was kitted as the Color Me Gone 64' 330. I got one and here it is now. Funny thing is that Olie's had the 64' Ramchargers version last year around this time for $6.00 a kit and it didn't catch my eye at the time... I wish I had picked up a couple.

Got the Viper rear end adapted over, it's all ready to drop in. Also cut out the side windows, removed some of the trim and got some primer on. Next is body colors and weathering. Which is something I'm still very new to so this is where the real fun begins for me.

Happy Birthday Carl! Enjoy your day!

Sweet build Jim! Very nice!

Very impressive engine detail. Great way to kick off a build. I'll be watching.

Awesome build!

Awesome work Pat. The "I love cats" and pink fuzzy seats are golden ideas. But if I may ask a question. I don't see them yet and I'm sure you have a plan for this but I'm just curious on how many mufflers you plan on using to keep that little monster quiet?

Thanks guys! Got the front end of the Viper in and scribed new door lines making it a 4 door, it's rough but so am I lol. Body work is done (I think) so as soon as I get some paint I'll start spraying the many layers it will be getting. Just about to start putting the Viper rear end in as well. Initial test fitting of the engine looks good too so that's a plus, nice to have stuff falling in order for once. I lost the rear panel so I scratched a new one.

Nice work guys, I'll try to have progress pics up of mine this weekend.

I'm planning on finishing too, plenty of time. :D. Got just a little more body work to do before paint. Slapped some paint on the engine early this morning and I'll start working on the frame and suspension tonight.

That it is, very nice work.

Very nice work!

As long as you can get it done by 11:59pm Dec. 1st you're good. Same goes for anyone else that is looking to jump in.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The 70 Coronet Wagon sounds awesome, I've seen a few pics on google are they certainly look great. For mine the sides are .40 and the top is .20 plain evergreen styrene. I would have done .40 for the top as well but A ran out of usable sheet.

Build thread for my entry to this years Cannonball run (Sleeperball) over in the cbp. I'm taking the Color Me Gone 330 on making it into a rusty crusty Polara Wagon. I'm going to put a modern Hemi in it, may upgrade with a supercharger might not, they are kind of loud. A arm suspension and all wheel disk brakes being donated from what's left of a Viper (Top right in Red) I picked up months ago. Got other plans that I'll disclose when I get them to sell the sleeper look. Starting point Where it's at right now. Didn't like how the rear window looked so I'm cutting and shorting it some. Might be a gutsy move with only 36 days left but I think it'll look closer to the 1:1 now. More to come. Thanks for looking!

My team, me, myself and I are in full scramble mode to get work done to the Polara wagon, it's finally hit us. Funny I could have sworn Jan 1st was just a "few" weeks ago. What it's looked like for the past month or so. And today. I wasn't liking how the rear window was looking so I decided to cut and raise it some. Might be a gutsy move that this point but I think it'll look a little closer to a 1:1 after it's glued back on. Powerplant will be modern Hemi power out of a Magnum. Not 100% sure if I'll upgrade and put a supercharger on it yet, they are kind of loud after all but we'll see. Suspension is getting upgraded to A arm with all wheel disk brakes, donor will be a Viper I picked up several months back. Still planning on finishing in time. About the only thing that's keeping me in is making it a beater so I don't have to get to carried away with body work or polishing a paint job.
