I’m still looking for the parts u have posted. Do the upper brackets I posted look similar to what u have on the 69?
Yeah. Tailgate is going to be a bitch. Doors were all pre-fit. We drilled 1/8" holes in the hinges to line them up when they go back on. You get a cleaner job painting them in pieces. No tape lines, masking problems etc.
That's the original color of my GS too. Someone changed to 55 before I bought it so left it that way. Great build I can't wait to see this done. You planning on doing power tour maybe?
Looking good. Does this suspension set up use the existing rear shock upper mount location? If so does it require reinforcement of some sort?
It does. However, the wagon frame is a bit different than regular A-body. It's a bit more beafy and uses a stud mounted shock vs. the two bolt style. I had to weld the brackets in. I talked with RideTech about it a bit and sent pictures. They ended up sending me a shorter shock because the whole mount area ends up being about 1.5" lower without doing some significant modifications/ floor work.
going together.... my guys are working faster than I can keep up. I suppose I need to paint the doors!!
I went a different route with mine , fiberglass hood and tailgate , fiberglass frt & rear bumpers , alum bumper brkts , lexan windows ALL, 2 race seats , and a 494 BBB stage 2 motor . about 3300 lbs with driver . It only liked going straight , 1/4 mile at a time . Yours is Very impressive !!!!!!! Good luck with your wagon Bill
This Wagon looks really good. I love the Blue color. This thing is going to look amazing when its done.
