I'm also here in Pensacola. I'm still working on my '67, and it's not on the road yet. Do you know any local places where I can find a passenger side front inner fender well? It's good to meet all you guys.

Kurt L

i usualy go to the shows on the weekends,not every week but every now and then.
what type wagon do you show.i've probably seen it.

seanu
06-07-2005, 12:27 PM
Well the wagon is not pretty (yet), but I'm working on it. It's a 91 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser (same thing as a Caprice wagon). It's faded grey and black primer, I've made a custom hood for it, and it rides on an air-ride system that I custom made. It has a 350 Chevy motor under the hood....

This is it...

What do you guys think about organizing a cruise-in? There are usually only 1 or 2 of our (67-72)trucks at the cruises I've been to, and I think that it would be awesome to roll in 10 or 12 deep into a cruise night. My truck isn't road worthy enough for a long haul, but I could definitely roll down to J-ville. let me know what you think. If I can get at least 10 people to show interest, I'll put it together.
