1958 Pontiac Wagon Build

[Tempest67]

Well, here I go again.

This time a 1958 Pontiac Wagon caught my eye.

My plans are to install a Pontiac 350, a motor that was in my 1973 Firebird when I was a teenager, add a TH350 automatic, some bucket seats with a console, Pontiac Rally 2 wheels, and have a safe, reliable, smooth running wagon.

I have already freshened up the motor, new gaskets, seals, timing chain, ...etc and have it ready for install. I also purchased a TH350 and have had it rebuilt and it is ready to go.

The BIG issue with this car is rust, and lots of it. The floors are gone, the rockers are gone, and the quarters are gone..........other than that, it seems solid. (ha ha)

My plans are to paint this one, and have it looking respectable, not that patina isn't respectable. Possibly a Teal/Blue with the white colored spear down the side? not sure yet, as that is so far away.

Anyways, I will post some pics now and add more as the work gets done,

I mentioned the motor is done, as you can see, I am going for the retro look.

Happy New Year to All
