how about a before and after picture thread of all of our wagons...

I'll start with my 93's before shots







and the fist few after shots

Wow!

that's with out the custom trim and badges....

Show off.

You just couldn't wait to get the trim on, couldja????

before: (ebay pic)



Just got it home:






and the afters.....

Well here's mine a week after purchasing, at this point I already added rims and tires along with the new black body side moldings:



After:





Just thought I would show you where I dumped my exhaust, I moved it back and put it at the corner like the old Riviera's Use to do.

Well...I don't have the new wagon in my hands quite yet...but can I post up pics of my last one? The WB4 was not too bad. Had nasty bubbling purple tint and straw inside. Worse part was the dented 'gate and scratched up paint on the sides (driven through a cornfield) I used my palm DA with some 2,000 and followed up with 3,000 grit (yup 3,000!) before compounding/polishing/waxing. Came out nice Gotta thank Crovo for hauling up a spare tailgate from Fred (as a total gift too!!) The gate came off Fred's 4x4 Caprice wagon...if you guys can remember that thing.

That was a nice wagon Chris, real clean in a Frank sort of way...

Thanks Pat....I do miss it. And I have always been a "clean freak", but visiting and working with Frank really upped my disorder a few notches. But am real excited about this new one!! The more I see of your Blue Baby, the more I can't wait to start on mine!! (will not be near as cool though)

Hey Krzdimond...where did your wagon come from initially? You really made it come alive!

Your bead blasted portholes show up niiice in the sun Jarrod!!

Before:




After:




It has been lowered, tinted and had white corner lights added since these pics were taken, the cars fate is now in Sprockets hands, at least it will be soon.

It initially came from Maine. The previous owner was born in 1928 and I bought it in 06. Doubt it EVER saw snow. Anyway, woman dies and the grandson drove it down to Jacksonville and 2 weeks later it was on it's way to Savannah with me, the second owner.

Bought it with 74883 on the clock in March of 06, and now it has 131,307. Will have just over 134K by Aug 1st.

In the hands of our fearless enabler...




In the hands of my wife, for a short amount of time...


And now in my hands...





Still in progress. If all goes well, she;ll look even differenter in 3 weeks at the 'Fest.

And man, you guys have got some NICE wagons, and some have come a LONG way! Chris, that AGWB4 had quite the transformation. That thing was gorgeous. And Robert, I love your MAB! And Pat, that LAB dark woodie, schweet! And the rest of ya... Wow.

And to think... MOST of these cars will all be parked on the same lakefront in a couple weeks!

That wood gauge overlay is hot!

Thanks! It's actually a Z28 instrument cluster, too.

Some beautiful transformations! I guess I should actually try to finish one of mine....

Bill, you have enough buttons on that remote there?

LOL! I know, right? There's actually only 4 buttons on it. The top 4 are LED's as it's a 2-way transmitter. They are lights that flash to confirm remote start or lock/unlock, etc.

Very nice wagons everyone.

One day I hope to have "after" shots of mine.

Nice shot's guys. As always a work in progress:
day I bought Ruby



Just after Daytona this year


avast Ruby the Red sails the seas....ARRRR!

Dude! That plate totally makes the carrrrrrrrrr.

Still at Fred's. These are the shots that made me bid on Ebay!





And after....

I'm loving this thread! (and the pirate wagon too)

I need to respray the grille I didn't rough it up enough and road debris is making the chrome come through again

I was in Key West a couple days after I painted the hood (to hide the peeling clear coat) and saw that plate in a shop and HAD to have it.

Unfortunately the clear peel is twice the size on that rear 1/4 and the rest of the hood is going now too.....may have to Crovo it...

You're new wagon is a perfect canidate for the Crovo treatment.
