That feeling when you can see the finished car in a pile of scrap

But sometimes, you find the strength to let it go to the crusher.

Hellcat, 12 inch tires on the rear.

That needs so many trim parts that it would be easier to start with a different car.  Sad

I can see it.

Seems like a spot for a 3d printer, and a couple of hundred spools of oak filament.

Or, make it out of real wood...

I can always see the hot rod in the pile of junk. I frequently can't finish digging it out though. 

Find some old retired guy with a wood shop and a desire to work for beer.

How is the underside?

Ideal for a tube chassis and new floor.  Organically lightened. 

Every time I see something like this- I think big spooky engine, good suspension and drive line, leave the rest E36 M3ty. 

Since you are in Canada that's the extra rare version of the diplomat wagon, I think Cooter has been looking for one for a few years

In reply to chandler :

Chrysler Town and Country.  Diplomat sized.  When I looked at it, I was unsure whether I had ever seen a wagon in that family, but I think I remember a Volare wagon from somewhere way back.

Just talking to Cooter, it's the Plymouth version that is Canada only and he has a Chrysler already lol.

That's certainly a reasonable option.  I'm intrigued more by a drag vibe.

Thats a rusty as E36 M3, malaise era Chrysler wagon that you dorks are swooning over. I'm pretty sure this is what car guy rock bottom looks like.

I bet there are a few parts I could use on that...




BTW, the '80-81 LeBaron wagon looks great without the plastiwood.

For a Mopar that is pristine.

The joke used to be that they saltwater dipped the shells before painting instead of galvanize dip.

Wasn't that Clark Griswold's ride...?  :)

We have one of those at my dad's shop. It's been sitting for 25+ years.

1978 Lebaron Wagon.
