I had this 39 Wagon Rod from a while, and finally I decide to start it... I thought, or at least the pics on the box give to it a better looking, than when I saw the mockup. It is nice, I like the wagon style myself, but I don't know if was about the front end, or the wheels that didn't attract me too much to it. So... I probably build something different with it... ;D For now I scratch built the dashboard, make it new, simple... And with some wood... Like the old cars... ;D I don't know if keep or not the green stripe on it... The steering wheels came out a Paddy Wagon. Soon I hope to have a pic of the whole body... Need to draw some ideas before...

Looks good. That radio looks like it is ready to be tuned. Nice job.

Now it has some primer on it... The finish color will be a metallic green, so I can keep the green stripe on the dash... I cut out the rear window, my idea is a two door wagon... Will see what could come out of this... ;D

Thank you Gary! The front end is from the 62 Ferrari 250 GTO (that I use the engine on the Mini). ;D I like this kind of shape it has... I think also to add some wood on the side... It make it more Woody Wagon... At least this is my idea... Will see what came out... ;D

That looks cool Brizio. What engine setup is that? Thank you Gary! I think the engine was a Chevy, but I went with the fuel injection instead the carburetor, because of the space. With intake, carb, air filter, the hood couldn't fit. Now the hood can close fine and can have a better gas mileage... ;D
