Snake45 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Very sharp, very clean build! Much along the lines of what I want to do with one, except I'd like to shave the chrome gingerbread off the sides. Well done and model on!
espo Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I like the more current understated street rod look. Your body modifications along with the clean paint work look great also. Those wheel and tires look good on anything in my opinion.
Tom Geiger Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Amusing how different everyone wants to build theirs, but mostly ranging from stock to race cars! Is anyone else thinking “auto parts delivery wagon” or “TV repair wagon” ? Or any other light commercial ideas?

Different car in the picture but to give an idea..

Different car in the picture but to give an idea.. Sounds like a great idea. Looking at the picture you have of the '60 Chevrolet wagon I realized just how rare it is. This is a base two door wagon and very few were built and I think that the 1960 models were the last time Chevrolet offered that body style wagon.
Cool Hand Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Excellent build as always, certainly has your particular build style all over it. Cant help but think this kit would be a great candidate for a ute conversion.
Modlbldr Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Roger, Extremely nice build and I love the color combo! After looking at your build, I just ordered two of these. Now to wait a week to get them. Oh well, maybe I can finish another build by then. Later-
alan barton Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Three out of three - colour, stance , wheels. I think I am going to steal this look for my 64 Chevelle wagon - I bought it ten years ago and although it was always going to have Americans on it, I couldn't for the life of me pick a colour. Loving this! Cheers Alan

Besides the script decals, that's all there is. There's decals for grocery, flower shop, phone service, vacuum cleaners, utility commission and even UFOs! For me, I'm just not interested in light commercial. I build what I would want to own/drive. I want at least one more to swap roofs with a '66 Nova. Maybe another to do a phantom El Camino.
Starliner Kustoms Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Wow! That is absolutely gorgeous! Love it!

Maybe for a full-size, but of course they did 2-door wagons on the '64 and '65 Chevelles.
BeakDoc Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Yessir. That’s a tasty looking wagon! The color and finish are astounding but, for me, the adjusted stance and choice of rolling stock are what really set it off.

I remember those well, but I was just thinking about the full size body styles. I tried to buy a one owner '65 Chevelle 300 two door wagon around '83 bur even at that time the guy wanted more than it had cost new and it needed a lot of work. Further back in time I took a '58 Chevrolet Yeoman wagon in part trade on a '57 Ford I was selling around '68 I didn't fully appreciate what the car was at the time and foolishly sold it. Hindsight is always 20/20 vision I have been told. Edited February 12, 2021 by espo
