Well, did a little tinkering last weekend - adjusted the timing to my liking, played with the carb a little (650 Holley speadbore - for some reason I love those little carbs!
), two new front tires, an alignment and tightened up the slack on the steering box. I also installed a tach and oil pressure gauge I had in my parts stash, along with a two-hole gauge pod instead of the three hole pod with only a temp gauge that was in it before. Installed the missing headlight eyebrow, new halogen headlights for the bright lights and polished up all the head light trim rings and buckets, and welded on some 3" chrome exhaust tips to brighten up the other end. Gave her a good hand wash, polished the exterior trim with my Flitz ball, hung some Little Trees inside and then proceeded to drive the crap out of it. I love cruising this wagon - it rides like a dream and fits me just right. I took it out and met up with a buddy of mine who has a super cool '58 Chevy Brookwood, aka 'Drag Safari'.
Next up will be a beefier panhard rod, new Bilstein shocks, new rear taillight lenses, and a complete interior. More pics to follow.
btw, my girlfriend named her 'Wanda' or 'Wanda the Wagon' - here's a short idle clip.
