Hey Brian,
Whatcha been up to? Thanks for posting those wagons. I don't know whether I care for them too much.
I like the '56 Chevy Nomad theme on the two tone, but it just doesn't look right. The B-pillar doesn't quite flow like a Nomad.
I think if he would have left the pillar vertical, it would have looked better. Just my opinion.
The 4 wheel drive one is kinda interesting, but still not my cup o' tea.

Hey Jack, I'm good how have you been?

Those wagons don't do it for me either. A lot of work into each tho, especially the 2 door.
I still haven't seen one I really really like(compared to the work involved).

I haven't been doing too much fun stuff for a while, but I did drop off my old Desoto hemi block at the machine shop last week.
I've also restoring an old boat......including re gel coating it. WTF was I thinking?!?!

Brian,
Tell me about the boat you're restoring. I recently saw a Glastron-Carlson GT150 on CL. It also needs restoration. Comes complete with trailer and 85 hp Johnson.. I would ditch that Johnson in a heartbeat and go with a good old 6 cylinder Mercury 100+hp. Great looking hull...and was pretty reasonable. I'm sure it's sold already..then again, I ask myself, Do I really need a boat? It would be fun, but where I live, it's not too close to the water...well then again there's lakes.
I could picture my wagon pulling a cool craft. :wink:
I forgot. What was the old Desoto hemi going into?

 

[Blake442]

Both of those have been on CL for quite a while now.

These long Minnesota winters can lead to a lot of mis-guided creativity... :lol:

Hey Blake I'm glad you're not still in a snow drift 8)

Jack, the Desoto is for this old Dodge Hot rod P/U Its getting sleeved and bored this week.

The boat is a Siderwinder clone - 1976 with a 115hp I-6 merc I also have picked up a 150hp I-6 on a throw away Glastron.

I knew it had a bad floor I didn't think the transom was bad too 😳

 

[Longroof79]

Yow!! That floor and transom look pretty rough. The Sidewinder is a cool looking boat. It kind of looks like the Glastron that I mentioned.
I remember the Dodge Hot rod pickup now. That is one cool rod.. I'm glad that Hemi block is able to be sleeved...and saved.

 

[dirtywhiteboy]

rough indeed, me and my bright ideas...

the floor and transom are in the hull is upside-down with about 1/2 the green glitter gel removed and the deck is next to it on horses patiently waiting. I wish my wife was so patient :lol:

How is it going for you Jack? Blake?

 

[Blake442]

We got pretty lucky up here this winter, which makes up for how bad last year was... :lol:
I should be able to pull the cars out in the next couple weeks, and hopefully the wagon is finally gonna get painted...
