Thanks! I also ordered shocks from summit racing a couple days ago, so that's next. Kyb gas adjust up front and Monroe air shocks out back.
Installed the gas adjusts today, man what a freaking pain. Sits up a bit higher in the front now and rides quite a bit better. The rear is next! Time for tunes!

Worked on cleaning the cargo area today. I'm going to use the old original wood as a template for a new one, check out the original jack instruction sticker (what's left of it that is). Here are some before pictures.
And some after pictures.
cool!
wow ...what a clean car
Thanks! Heres some tunes:

Here's a tip that I did.
If you flip your spare wheel upside down, then you can use a shorter bolt to hold it in. You can also carry a spare jacket inside (a bag inside) the wheel for rain or cold.
I love the look, but i just cant help feeling she needs another 1.5 inches of height at the nose. A bit of airspace between the front tyre and the top of the wheel arch. Thanks to torson bars, it's pretty easy to trial it.
I dunno, I just reckon it'd toughen the nose up a bit, instead of being so wedge-ish? It'd also sniff of the old-school gasser.
Just a thought.

I put kyb gas adjust shocks up front since those pictures were taken and it raised the car up some, I also cranked up the torsion bars a few turns too.

well it's time for a new picture then, isn't it?
Probably. Lol, when it cools down a bit (its 107 today). I will snap a few more and update the thread.
My wagon turns 50 years old on January 6th of 2014, so after a wash, I had my dad follow me up to our old neighborhood to snap some pictures to celebrate. 8) :-D

The wagon suits you...don't ever sell it.
Something else pretty weird, the post of all the recent pictures was my 1964th post...

Very nice
Whats next Adam? Your car looks stunning. It really fits in red!
Ive been working slowly on switching the 70s 3 speed out for a 65 a833 4 speed and also changing to large bolt pattern all around with 73+ disc's front and a 3.23 8.25 with 11 inch drums out back. I also rebuilt the front end with new bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, new wheel bearings, and a new pitman arm. I am working on putting a set of 17x8 inch 94-95 Mustang Cobra wheels on it (had them sitting around and couldn't sell them). The rears needed 1 inch spacers to clear the leaf springs, (its still very close) and the fronts just needed opened up in the middle a bit to clear the hub of the disc. They wheels have 245/45r17 Pirelli P6 tires all around and seem to fit very well with no rubbing so far (lock to lock, car is not yet drivable).
