Today I didn't do anything because of the rain. But I did cut and trim all the molding for the quarter rear window. I also got the lumber for my 6th order subwoofer enclosure and got the front door speaker pods rebuilt.

John,
What did you use to replace the quarter window trim? I know that the later wagons used the stick-on rubberized mouldings. Of course, my year wagon used the metal clip-on trim on the quarter windows. Some guys have actually used the earlier metal trim to replace the rubberized crap.

I'm using floor board trimming from home depot and a urethane weather stripping adhesive

Yeah, I saw a guy on Malibu Racing using that stuff on his wagon's 1/4 windows. It looked pretty good too. It's that vinyl cove molding.

Ok been a minute since I posted.
I have a ride height issue. So I bought a pair of new coil springs, new shocks and a pair of 2" coil spring lifter blocks and a pair of coil spring insulaters.
Hopefully this will solve my rubbing issue. Until I can get my coilovers.

What's up everyone? I hope y'all have been doing well. I just want to thank God. For my present health. I've been down dealing with kidney and stomach issues for the last month. So no work was done since October last year. But now I'm feeling much better still taking it easy. But I

did manage to pull the Felix out the garage yesterday and wash him up. And today I cut and fitted the quarter window trim. Now to glue them on today.

The car's lookin' good, John. Sorry to hear that you've been faced with some health issues that have been keeping you from your project.
Glad to hear that you're feeling better and will be getting back to work on the car.

So today I'm feeling well enough to get outside and work on the Felix wagon project
