    More progress on the Sportwagon. Custom console made. Anyone have a shorty console they want to sell? Bumpers are on, almost all the trim... Exhaust this week I think.

    Rocker switch for the exhaust dumps and a USB port. Gotta have the dumps!!!

    Thanks to everyone for the compliments. This one has been a fun build. Hope to have it at the Nationals in the spring.

    GS Hood had a few surprises after media blast. The original hood was junk so we used it as a donor.

    Strangely enough that is my favorite part of doing body and paint I love the first blocking,.. especially with poly,...120 grit on all my different boards,.hoses etc and watch start to come back to flat and straight,.. rewarding I guess,.. listening to my Radio and just zone everything else out

    Sean, Are you selling this one like you did the convertible or is this one you're going to keep ?

    Great car and build, will you put the trishield emblem on the grill?

    Thanks everyone. Plan is to drive it to Bowling Green. I think we'll keep this one for a while. We'd need big money for it as we have a lot into this one.
    Don, I think I'm going to leave the trishield off the grille.

    That'll be a blast to drive it there. Didn't I sell you a NOS Grille Trishield along w/the quarter scripts? I still have an NOS "Sportwagon" grille emblem:).

    Did you ever find the roof rack pedestal?
