This is currently being cleaned for paint

No paint on the wagon , its just going to get a clear matte finish .. its beige , the headers don't touch the inner fenders , maybe has a 1/4 inch of so of clearance
Has a Dana rear , Ladder bars , Alterkation front , Wilwoods on all 4 , made a new floor , has a 10 point cage in it

I meant what color and paint did you use on the tailgate? Looks like the engine compartment and under hood got the same paint too? That little wagon looks badass!

Do you have any other photos of the cage?

Dang! About 10 or 12 years ago, I saw a wagon JUST like that one, in a raggedy assed motel parking lot in Oklahoma.

You're correct. It's a fun little street car.
