that's random, what happend to it?I highly recommend them except they broke my rotissarie(doesn't spin anymore).
I really don't know what happen to it. When I arrived both hydraulic rams were maxed out and they wouldn't go down. They also broke a bolt off that retained the pivot point on one end so it allowed it to slide out a few inches. Took about an hour with a sledge hammer to get the car back down low enough to get in the trailer. It was just somehow in a bind and didn't want to do anything.
I will probably make a new cargo floor and roll some beads or ribs in it to stiffen it up and weld it in. The tailgate jamb area does also need some work. Its pretty eaten up. Not really sure what to do with it yet. I am going down to Biscay's to pick up a set of quarter skins so I can start this weekend.[/QUOTE
I didn't know they made quarter skins for wagons? If you're looking at the hard top ones, that ain't gonna work. It's best to just fabricate something. Removing the spare tire well, sounds like a cool idea, but you could use that area for the battery or other stuff. I'm just going to narrow the top of mine and leave the area the stock size so that I can use it.
I thought the only difference was that the area behind the wheels was longer? I don't plan on using the whole thing, just the wheel wells and about 8 inches past the them.I didn't know they made quarter skins for wagons?

tape was clean as a whistle. Thanks for the tip. I haven't heard of anyone doing that after blasting.After blasting with the walnut shells......did you D/A the car down with sandpaper to promote proper paint adhesion?
If not, you may want to do yourself a favor now and try the “tape test”
Stick a piece of masking tape on the car and see if it pulls off your primer….
Please let us know the results…..
Well.....tape was clean as a whistle. Thanks for the tip. I haven't heard of anyone doing that after blasting.
Thats a great tip John, I wonder how many people have messed that one up.After blasting with the walnut shells......did you D/A the car down with sandpaper to promote proper paint adhesion?
