My Big Block Volare Wagon Project

New gas tank installed and underside detailed a bit. Its not perfect but its a lot better than it was. Kind of hard to paint on a dirt pad

Im doing my best hoping to hear it run by the beginning of next week. Gear drive and open headers... oh yeah. Exhaust would be next on the list after the rearend gets finished
 
nice build on your wagon. I never would've thought that you could get a 440 to fit in those small bodies.When you do get around to getting it all painted,are you going to do any pinstriping or other kinds of stripes?
 
Im thinking of some sort of stripe but havent decided on color or type yet. Without the roof rack or upper door trim it will look too plain without a little something. Maybe a white stripe

Have Pheonix Graphics make you an extra long R/T stripe package.
 
There is a guy named challengergary over on FABO who makes all kinds of strips for people, all his stuff looks really nice and he is very reasonable.

it will be an awsome feeling to hear your big block roar to life after all the hard work you have put in.

lol , put a cuda stripe on it , or a 73/74 roadrunner strip in it . Make ol' John Q. think about what's about to happen if they mess with it .
 
Ive got no emblems on it. The only thing you may notice would be the small Plymouth on the grille. Should throw them off enough to not know what it is lol. A Mopar type stripe is needed to give them just a little more hint of whats going on
 
I don't think anybody is going to be fooled by a big purple wagon that sounds like a prostock car when it pulls up next to them. lol

I dunno about that, the ricers and their rattley coffee can exhaust, or the guy with so much bass coming out of his stereo thats rattling all the bumper bolts lose wouldnt have a clue anyways...
 
A Quicky spray off and it will be dust free again... I know the feeling tho, I've NEVER been able to have the pleasure of wrenching on ANY of my stuff inside a concrete floored, well lit shop... Always in the dirt, in the drive/backyard, under the sap dripping trees..... But LOOKING damn good, keep em coming and keep it going.... Yeah I agree a white mopar stripe kit of some kind is gonna be needed...

Good luck with that. He wouldn't make me a set in Orange/Yellow. He told me an outside vendor makes them anyway so I dunno.

Must be under new ownership because when I was trying to get mine i told him I would pay him $1000 for a set I didn't care I just needed them and he wouldn't do it. This was about 5 or 6 years ago....

I told him I would even send him a sample of my colors.

I just got off the phone with them , Justin no longer works there and they do make their stripes in house but they do not and never have made them in any color other than the red/orange and black/white. They also will not do custom lengths or sizes, I spoke to Chris.

He said only the "factory colors" and I had to explain to him that aspen R/T's came with many different colors of stripes and the 2 they offer are not the only factory colors lol.

So if you have a black R/T with red orangte or one of the orange ones etc that came in black and white you are ok, otherwise forget it.
