Thanks Kevin...and I credit you for supplying many of the nice parts that went into it.
Thanks again, my friend.

Congratulations Jack!

Truly one of the BEST wagons I have ever seen. Really cool and tasteful.

Best,

Thank you M... Is it M as in Michael? Just a wild guess.
I appreciate your kind words...I will be following your build thread..
Good to have you aboard.

Its actually Matthew, but great guess!

The nom de guerre I use on the forum (MRockatansky) is an M for Max from Mad Max fame. Max Rockatansky is the full name of the eponymous anti hero from George Miller's octane fuelled world, figured since I was joining this octane fuel world (minus the radiation, societal collapse and evil villains) it would be a good fit.

On the matter of names, you have a great one. My son who is 5 in March is also a Jack. I am going to show him your wagon pictures, he would get a big kick out of seeing such a cool car.

I don't know why Michael came to mind first. I guess I didn't consider that there's more than one or two M names....Mitch, Mel, etc. Matthew certainly was not my first guess....lol!!

I like your screen name...also being a huge fan of Mad Max. So, your little boy is also a Jack. Is he currently interested in cars? You got to start them young...

My kids spent and hour cranking the windows up and down in the wagon. They'd never seen that before....today we have power windows with a remote lockout switch so four-year-olds don't fall out...in the 80's we had GM downsizing their wagons and pointing to the non-roll-down rear windows as a 'safety feature'....

You are very deserving of GBOTM! The "longroof" is a beauty. Congrats Jack.

Congrats Jack, beautiful wagon! A Winter driver theme would be cool, I drive my GA almost every day (and look forward to the time when it will be nice enough to store during Winter). Congrats again!
