I finished the wagon last night.

Originally, it was going to be a 327/L79 engine, but I decided to go whole hog, and do it with a 427/390 V8 with a 4 -speed.

While the powertrain combination was not listed in the factory literature as a RPO on a Chevelle, it was possible that such a beast could be built from the factory, or a local transplant. One of the techs at our dealership did such to an El Camino.

Are those "wood" panels decals from the kit? They look really good.

Harry,

Thank you! The wood panel decals are from Firebird Design. They work well if the directions are followed.

this turned out incredible, great idea, and great execution. that wood grain is the icing on the cake, well done all around.

Nice Chevy wagon. I like it. I do have one question though? Why do you keep showing us the '60 Pontiac with everything you post? Again, it's a very nice model. But, I get a little tired of seeing it. All the time, for years now.

Sorry about that. Both the Chevy and the Pontiac are very nice.

The '60 Bonneville is a tribute to my late father. He had one just like it from '60 to '62.

I'm sorry about your Dad. I understand your feelings. I miss my Father too. But, I am a little tired of see it. Plus, I feel it's a little rude when shown in threads dealing with other persons builds. Why not transfer the Pontiac over to your avatar picture instead?

By the way, as tribute to my Dad, I also built model of the first car he bought brand new. A '61 Comet. I got the kit before he died. Meant to build it why he was still alive. Sorry to say, I didn't finish until about a year after he had passed on.

My Late uncle's '60 Ford Sunliner is my avitar. You can't win on this one Scott.
