I knew of a Supra chassis that was used to build a 67 Camaro street rod using a gutted drag racer body and tuned port Corvette engine and trans. Quite the road hugger when it was done.

I found a way to connect this to setup to the park brakes on the Cobra independent rear suspension initially through the use of lincoln park brake cables, but in the end the pedal did not pull sufficiently to hold the car. Now I am going to convert to the fox mustang park lever along with the complete dash and console.

If I can get wheel bearings both sides done in a week then I can make the last Lehigh Valley Cars and Coffee of the season.
Re: The daddywagon The Daddywagon needs new front hub bearings on both sides.
Re: The daddywagon Too bad so many of your posts were lost in the Great Crash... this is a great project.
Re: The daddywagon Thanks to all of you wagon fans! It isn’t done yet, so I will keep updating as I go.
Re: The daddywagon For me it might have to be the last caprice wagon. Had an LS1 already, so easy to fit an LS6. Or a Dodge Magnum. Or if money was no option... the mercedes E wagon AMG.

If someone said they'd build any car I wanted, for free. 1970 Olds Vista Cruiser wagon with a TH400 and an LS6. Gold on the inside/burgundy on the outside. Keystones and.......I have no idea what tire to go for today. I love me some wagons. I built a 67 Skylark ? wagon, similar to the Vista Cruncher,with a powerglided 310 ? ( all aluminum Buick engine ?) back in da day. Later I had a 66 Falcon I crammed a 390/335 in. Death wagon. Nail it and pray. It was all over the road fishtailing. My cousin and I did a Vega wagon in ??? 78 or so with a wound tite 283 and a powerglide. Same story.30 MPH kick and pray. F60/14 Springfields. Scary tire I pulled the back side windows and oxy act welded( with coat hangers) some metal in to make a "panel wagon" out of the thing. The tailgate had " dream weaver" and some bikini chicks airbrushed on it Fun times

I liked the previous white-wheel-treatment better - it was less authoritative, and more dismissal. Clouds may be mundane - until lightning & thunder rages . . . Opus
