New Roadmaster is coming along, slowly but surely

Wow looking great! Should bring that up to the Badass meet lol.

Also, thanks for those pictures of the rear wheel wells. Thats my next project. Thankfully, the holes I have there aren't nearly that big.

I tell ya, wood racing striped down the hood would really complete it!
I'm glad to see some clean white walls on it lol

Laughed when I read about your wood racing stripes but the more I think about those stripes the more I like them.Sure wouldnt see that everytime another wagon drove by.You may have started something with that woodgrain bug strip!

Looking good!  I dig the wood bug shield! Wish I could check it out in NY.

You've done a lot and it really smartened up that baby. I think your bug shield is Best Mod for sure. LOL!

Looks good Lyonl! I'm not a fan of hubcaps but gotta admit they look better than crusty alloys. Curious to see how the bug shield thing lasts.

Oh I forgot an important one! This happened week before last. While the car was having it's emissions test done, I saw coolant dripping steadily out the front as I was waiting for them to finish. When I got back to work, I found this nice 3" crack. Fortunately RockAuto had a new one for about $115 shipped, and even with the standard $10 shipping it showed up 2 days later, all my fittings came off easily and now it's all back to normal, and the heater core has been flushed of it's black sludge. I took my old rad to the yard and got $10 for it, lol.

Have you made an appointment with jarrod for the paint job yet?

Looking good, Lionel. Now lower it!!!

I dig the bug shield!

For those of you who did not attend WagonFest, I got it done just in time. Last job was to patch (Bondo and chicken wire!) a rust hole about the size of my hand in the driver's rear quarter. Again, I didn't want to buy any green paint, so I painted it satin black at the same height up on the body that the satin black factory rocker trim is. First time I've worked extensively with Bondo, but I found it was very much like working with sheetrock joint compound, which I've done plenty of. I think it blends pretty well!

And of course, the finished product. For appearance stuff I had about $15 in primer/rust converter, black and tan spray paint. $5 for stripper for formerly woodgrain trim, $5 for aluminum polish for said trim, $15 for Bondo, $4 for woodgrain contact paper, $15 for chrome molding (yikes!) and goodness only knows how much for rolls upon rolls of belt molding tape! ($50 maybe??) It's been fun experimenting to see what works and what does not (or what will not in time, heh heh!).
BEFORE and AFTER:

Very impressive work and a bunch of elbow grease too!

Looks like its prayers have been answered.

Lynol has definitely got his new wagon looking good, I saw it this weekend.
