Really nicely done! My dad has a '49 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon that he lovingly restored. All the wood had to be done from scratch since it was all rotted away. I'd love to  build a model of it sometime to give to him, this may be a decent roadmap for me to follow. There would still be a lot of 3D printing involved, but it might be worth using the donor kits to make it a little easier.

A ton of work but worth it. I find myself conflicted when I paint a slice-and-dice project, the primer and paint hide all the groovy craftsmanship that goes into it.

Really cool custom wagon there Glen, and I like the hemi you used. Is the air intake a standard Mopar set-up as I've never seen one like that before. Really well done, colour combo, stance and wheels all work well together to make this a very appealing custom.

Cheers, 

David. ??
