My Big Block Volare Wagon Project

[Wagonmaster]

Just a few pictures to start off. Ive been working on it for about 3 years...Slowly coming along. Doing it all myself so far and no garage. Going In Violet on this one (Plum Crazy is the Dodge term)

That looks great! All that land and no garage?

 

[Wagonmaster]

I didnt have anything when I started. I did end up getting one of the canopy garages to hold me over till I get a real one built.

Looks good so far. The In violet really suits it

And the canopy garages will work, Im suprised dad hasnt put a picture of his up!

 

[Wagonmaster]

The weather is getting nice so I should be able to get some stuff done this spring and some new pics... Always seems to take forever to round up the parts

 

[creeds_247]

It's been through 3 winters and well worth my $200 investment to keep the rain ,tree sap and leaves off my 66 Valiant. Yes my tools and other parts to :eusa_clap:

 

[Wagonmaster]

Got a fresh 440

Picked this up the other day. Looks like a fresh rebuild. Cant wait to get this thing in there

How much $$$$

 

[Wagonmaster]

Trade and labor is what I got in it so far. Im gonna use the short block and put my heads on it (902's shaved .060). Time to go to work..

 

[Wagonmaster]

Havent done too much here lately due to the marriage thing.

Wagon goes off for some floor pan pieces welded in tomorrow, along with a few other odds and ends. When it comes back Ill get it detailed back up under the hood and set the 440 in there. I cant wait to hear this thing run. :icon_super:

 

[Wagonmaster]

Some more pics of the 440

There is a Pete Jackson gear drive under the cover. I still want it in there :glasses10:. Gonna keep it looking semi stock (orange engine and purple werent available that year)

Is your wagon going to pull the wheels?


Such as this.....

 

[Wagonmaster]

That wagon is fun to watch pulling the wheels off the ground. Im hoping all 4 of mine stay attached to the earth though:wave:. Im going for a good road cruiser (yes with a big block:sad4 I got all the cop sway bars and poly bushings for the torsion bars and the aluminum isolator blocks. Still debating on rear gears though. I got a 2.94 Sure grip and still waiting on a 3.91 Sure grip. The married life will put a damper on the project for a bit till I get settled in
