    I quit playing music so I can go to college, Touring for 3 years was good enough for me haha I was sick of being a broke musician, time to make money. here is a link to the first album tho http://www.facebook.com/burningtwilight ... 8091127385

    thanks dudes, I'm glad to be back, it going to be hard getting this wagon like my old wagon was due to lack of funds haha
  • I washed it, put the bottlecaps on it and lowered it down, Today I'm putting a lip on, amber corners, recoating the bumpers and trim. front and rear towhooks and more. Just throwing what ever I have laying around in my garage on it haha

    here's it with the bottle caps.

    Are you using a striping remover wheel? If not, they get the job done really quick. But they will also burn through the paint if you aren't careful.
  • Looking good so far.

    I wish I had a fancy tool! I'm just using a heat gun and peeling it off slowly then going over the glue residue the pin stripes left with goo off and alot of time. haha

    You'd be surprised how well WD40 works for removing adhesive from pinstriping and decals.

    I got frustrated and bought a wheel, lol.

  • Love both your old wagon an new one!

    Inane a few questions for you about your ride/ride height. On our old wagon when you ha it that low you had 16" wheels on it right? Did they rub real bad when you turned, what about the back tires rubbing the wells also? And i see that you had to get the camber kit fr front and rear for the new wheels. Did you have them for the so wheels?

    Sorry for the log post but I'm wanting to go lower but don't want to ruin my tires when I do from rubbing

    I dig your wagon man, never saw the old one. And your thread kind of made me want bottlecaps now lol. What lip is that?
