I saw this but forgot to post it... points for effort I suppose.

You were afraid we'd buy it out from under you.

Not my thing but you have to give him credit where credit is due

Is it just me, or does the B pillar look like an ElCo?

I think he used some 68-72 El Camino in it see how round the door edge is?

B-pillar definitely looks ElCo, I would guess easier to source than coupe parts.

not crazy about the louvers or the paint, but I like it

It's been definitely done as an old school custom. I like louvers, but not particularly on that car. The scallops are dated....I like the '59-'60 Chevy dash and steering....definitely an old school favorite.
Looks like a '60 Mercury grille.
What's with the vent windows?....yuck! The B-pillars are out to lunch.

I agree that most of the work has been done well, but not done tastefully. He did have good intentions, though.
I do like the notched door pulls...that's pretty creative.

It's missing a pair of dummy spot lights to follow the '50'-'60;s theme.

After reading all the negative posts about this wagon,I don't think I'll be posting ANY pics of my Elco into a 2dr wagon. I've already put over 300 hours and around $10,000 into it,I sure don't need any Monday quarterbacks running it down because it' doesn't agree with them.

Doug,
You know what they say about opinions.....I don't have to get graphic.
I wouldn't worry about what anyone has to say. No matter what, someone is going to have an opinion whether it's constructive or what. That's human nature.
I think your project is coming out well. I wouldn't hesitate to post up your progress.
