Went out and purchased a Christmas present for the wagon. Bought a complete Rideteck suspension package including shockwave air bags front and rear along with new a arms front and trailing arms rear. Also got Wilwood discs on the front to replace the stock drums, along with a new booster/master cylinder. I am replacing the stock steering gear with a delphi 600 and all new linkage. Hoping for a good handling wagon.:beer
Over the summer I have completed installing all the Ridetech suspension and Willwood brakes. Had a few issues with the rear suspension as the shocks are different from all other A bodies. They are a stud mount at the top, all other A bodies use trunion mount. Also are different length. Got that sorted out finally. Managed to mount all the air ride suspension components under the hood, tight fit but works great. Replaced the s/p 400 with a 200 4r along with new drive shaft. Installed a delpi 600 power steering box to replace the original. Original rally wheels wouldn't clear the 12.7" front brakes so I installed 17" Cragar SS wheels with 45 series tires. Car is going to the body shop Nov 1. Will try to post before pics soon and after pics later.
Guess you'll have to wait for a front view. The car is stripped of all front sheetmetal and bumpers. Doors will be off tommorrow. Body shop has been busy stripping the car for paint. Good news is only damage is to front doors. Rest of car is solid except small rust hole in bottom inside of tailgate.
Since the car has an original green interior we have decided to do green exterior. It will be two tone, lower body a light metalic green and the top and raised part of the hood a dark metalickgreen. Will have an eigth inch of silver at the break.
Anyone interested in following the progress on my sportwagon can veiw photos @ keithnoel.com/ On the home page click on the electra glide ultra classic gas tank photo on the righthand side of the page(not the big pic in the middle), then click keith noels gallery at the top of the page. Then click the 1967 sport wagon for a bunch of pics.
Tried to look at that webpage for the "gas tank" to click on? Not seeing that anywhere on your home page?? Love to see the progress.
