AMT 1963 Chevy II Wagon

[Keef]

I started this build as a curbside build because I couldn’t decide which engine I wanted to use in it. Then I got slightly unmotivated to build anything. 

After pushing through and getting a couple of other long stalled projects finished, I threw some paint on this one and it sat again.

Started a couple more semi-long term projects and then when I got to a stalled stage I just sat here at my bench trying to decide “Who’s next”.

So here it is in its finished state. Wheels and tires are from @Texas_3D_Customs and the paint is a combination of Krylon satin Catalina Mist and IH White from a local Tractor Supply store.

Awesome job! Love those wagons!

Nice!

Good looking Chevy wagon.  Those two colors really work well together.

I also like the colors, sort of an understated look, but does catch the eye. Like the deep off set wheels and the stance. The interior colors are a nice match to the body colors.

I bought several at Ollie’s when I found them originally. I’ll still pick one or two up on occasion if I run across them.

My Ollie's never had them, so I missed out on that..

Although a simple kit it turns into a beautiful model as yours demonstrate. Beautiful job and those colors are perfect for it.

Good thing is being curbside I left myself wide open to adding an engine later when I decide what it should be.

Beautiful Wagon!   Have any trouble with the Krylon drying?

Surprisingly it was dry to the touch in about an hour or so. I’ve never had any problems using Krylon or Rustoleum products. Just lucky I guess. ?

Now the farm paint I used on the roof and interior is a different story. It was still kind of tacky even after 2 weeks of drying. I probably won’t be using it again anytime soon. ?

I wasn’t too sure how I felt about the colors in my head, as well as the matte and gloss finishes, but it turned out pretty good I think. Thanks for the compliments!

Beautiful wagon Keith! I love old wagons. Your stance, colours, and wheel tire choice are all excellent, nice clean build sir!
