I read through a bunch of others post before I joined. You seem to have a large amount of knowledge and are not opposed to sharing it. I look foward to asking lots questions and looking for feed back.
I will get pictures up very soon.
My current car is a 1983 Malibu Wagon. I have been gathering parts and plan on building a 2 door panel wagon. I have doors from a 2 door as well as the post and front seeat. I will have a full post so I can bounce some ideas off you all. If anyone else in the forums has one let me know. I have seen a few done but mostly not too well.
I have had a love of these cars since I was little.
My father had a new 1978 Olds Cutlass Supreme and the car I learned to drive on was 1978 Buick Century Wagon.
Love the site.

Welcome to GBF, I've always wanted to make a two door wagon too. I've only seen it done once and it wasn't done that well either. I don't have any pictures but I think they put malibu doors/windows on the wagon body. They never finished the interior, probable because of the difficulty of fabbing something to fit. They should have made it a panel instead of leaving the wagon windows. Would have made finishing the interior easier. I saw it for sale on craigslist in Waco a few months back I'll check to see if it's there.

Welcome!

Sounds like a fun project. I've seen a couple of these myself, and they didn't appear very well done. I've got a few ideas churning around in my head for a way to do it that looks like it was meant to be that way, and not all jerry rigged...

Sounds like you already know how much we like pictures... :lol:
