The black handles look great! Now with all due respect,...the gas filler door gives the illusion that it has the wrong size door on it. while the black gives the illusion of a bigger gap. All in all you love it so it really doesn't matter, what I think, it still is Awesome!

Impressive....well worth the wait But one pic would still have been nice..lol
This is the world's first Sedan Nosed Woody right? Can't wait to see it at the 'Fest.

No it's not the first, there was one for sale in Belgium four years ago. That was a simple case of accident repair and they used the wagon front fender trim so it did not look right....

Pat thats incredible. Last year I would have said junk that car and find a solid one. Seeing this from the start has made you the most persistent and dedicated wagon owner I have ever met.
I hope it brings all the compliments that it truly deserves.The wheels fit it like factory.I can picture it with the skirt belt on and like it. I am guessing however there will be a break for the shirt removal like a Fleetwood rite?
Have I told you how beautiful that wagon is?? WOW! Yeah, the skirts are growing on me fast.
As for the Ratmaster...you like Lincoln Town Cars?? I have a nice 2 owner SC '92 Cartier for ya if you like...just saying I could use a niiice chop top RMW around here ;-) No inspections here too. Mike and I were talking about chopping the top on this once my wagon project is complete. Its my DDriver for now.
Sounding like a broken record here but looking good, looking real good. I like the skirts, when I did that set for my dad years ago I used stainless steel tape on the upper section, and then buffed it out and it looked just like the original stainless. Also I may put skirts on mine for next year along with a few other things.

Looks awesome. Great work. Those skirts create the illusion of wider wheels and tires on the back, I love it.
I would love to see it in person as well as the Ratmaster. One of these years I will make it to wagonfest. Maybe I'll see it on your way through to Woodward.
What's Next? A Fleetwood Wagon?
Keep up the good work!
