62 Buick Wagon Two Door

Ok this is just a test to see if I can upload a picture. This is the beginning of a conversion to a two door from a four door.

Looks like you have to right click to go to pic

I am having problems seeing your pic. Do you have a photobucket account?

Ok now I have it. This is first pic showing the car with a two door sedan door along side of the car and how much longer it is than the front four door door

S10 frame being used. Stock before adding 4" to wheelbase for wagons 112" wwb

These are pics of frame modifications for air ride with four link rear and initial fit of body

Pics of moving b pillar back, removing c pillar,grinding door skin off of back door, welding panel in off of back door and finishing the two door wagon look

That is going to be simply amazing. Nice work! I want a wagon now!

Very, very cool. You have the skills and the tools, way to go..........

Thanks for the nice words Here is more of what has been going on with this conversion. This is some of the mockup for turbocharger with ls engine installed. All of this is coming back out so that I can repair all of the underhood rust with new metal

First off I am still new at posting pics so excuse my mistake again. Thanks for the nice words Here is more of what has been going on with this conversion. This is some of the mockup for turbocharger with ls engine installed. All of this is coming back out so that I can repair all of the underhood rust with new metal.

That's one bad MF'er your building. What trans and rear end set up you gonna use?

Thanks StageCat I am using a powerglide with brake and a 8.8 Explorer rearend

Are you sticking with the torq thrusts on it? The last picture has a different set of rims on the front.

I am using the front ones. They are Champion Cap5. The back were a set of Boyd Smoothies I had from another car I built 10 years ago that I sold

Man, I love wagons!

And this one is something special (no pun intended). Can't wait to continue following this one...

Thought I would update some older pics of things going on with the wagon. The instrument cluster had the rpm and mph backwards so I had to fix that. Cant imagine no rpm and 1000 mph lol Trunk area with mockup of airride and fuel cell also exhaust work over the rearend. floorboard with tunnel and Quarterstick shifter cover. 1961 Portholes fitted to 62 fenders and tailgate attached. Making nomad type bars for the tailgate out of 3/4 aluminum half round and forming to fit the curved gate and electric opener.

All I can say is WOW

First word that came to mind was "BITCHIN" (do people even say that anymore?).
That is totally awesome rt.

If people don't say it anymore they will once they see it. I can't wait to see the finished product here. Have you picked exterior color (s)?

Yes it will be two toned but until I get some of the color put on I don't want to say so that nobody else can try to use these colors. Strange but after all this time I would be pissed if someone else used them.You will be surprised and hopefully excited in its look.

Totally understandable. Can't wait!

That thing could do with a sunroof and a surf board! Very nice work. Killer Nomad!

I'm keeping you in mind rt for that rear bumper. I assume the F-85 and Tempest wagons share the same bumpers as the Buick?

Actually their bumpers are quite different but I think I can use the tempest wagon rear bumper. Thanks for the help.
