Thread: 1963 Bel Air WAGON build (New guy)

Tweet

With the motor good enough for now I turned to the inside and getting the shifter in. Finding that the floors are a little worse than I thought. But nothing that a few replacment pannels won't fix;

So thats where I am todate, This is not a high end build just trying to build a decent daily driver for now. Paint and body will come next. But for now I am trying my darndest to find a clutch linkage and pedal assembly, wich is proving to be harder than I had thought.

I have this wife, and she REFUSES to drive a mini van (god bless her) We also have 2 small boys and forseeing the future know we will need more seets with them having freinds and so on. The solution; 9 passanger 63' station wagon. 'The Mommy Missile'

Best answer in the world... "Family Ride"!

I'm loving this post, Jmaster! The four door wagon is the ultimate kid mobile. We went through two of them (and a full size van) with my four growing up. Great pictures of your little guy helping dad with the engine build. This car will be full of memories for years to come.

Thanks for sharing with us!

It worked the posts are up. Just found out why the delay, and I think all forums should monitor new people, don't know how many spamers get threw an other (non car) forum I go to. Liking this site more and more the more I browse around.

Wow! Good stuff dude! You got the right attitude and you seem to be having fun with it so keep it up and keep us posted with pic's and story! Good job JM!

Sure is alot of 'WA' on here!!!

Yep... wasn't there a country song that sang something like "God bless Washington?" (and not DC) Oh wait I'm sorry, that was Texas!!!

Good on you! You must have missed your calling.....if you can trade and swap like that! Good idea to start your son young...soon he will be telling you how he wants his ride built!
Keep up the pace......... then too will your wife will be impressed, leaving you a very happy man!

My oldest boy is 2 and the more he helps the more time I get to spend building, when the younges can help too the wife will let us build all day long and she can go read or get her nails done or whatever it is that she does when not taking care of us 3 boys.

Ive been to Texas and I would say that it is Washington that God blessed (I agree NOT DC )

Great start and great crew. Keep the posts coming.

Great story, car and build! Keep us updated. I think you should paint Mommy Missle on the finished product, it's just too cute to pass up!
