    there will be more in a few days of all the work i have done. so the wagon is just about ready for primer. i just need to get a compressor and some guns so i can paint the wagon.

    ive come to the conclusion that im going to have to get a couple more parts replaced. i really wanted to work the metal but working the fenders really sucks. so tomorrow im heading out to get some fenders. and some other brackets as well. i hate having to spend extra monies but o well i really need to get her done. ive got one place left to do the filler on then done. (besides unbolting old fenders and bolting new ones on


    and im needing to build a tool box as well secrete plans ill show ya'll when im done with it.

    if you're close to nc, drive over and i'll install the amp, cd player and speakers free.

    just bring all the wiring.

    if i were you- i wouldnt buy the compressor/gun etc...

    i would drive it up to macco and have them do it; it will save you
    money...
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    or borrow the shit from someone, spray it with rustoleom and wet sand and buff the shit out of it.
