This side looks good too, (except for the roof). The right front fender looks salvageable. How bad is the dog leg in front of the rear wheel well on this side?
By the way, is that your Forge in the background (Dodge Cummings Turbo Diesel pickup truck frame and drive train with Ford Econoline body)?

So that the UPS girl can deliver lots of "packages" to help with the restoration...........

And at some point he'll be repainting it in this.......

And after it's all done and back on the road, he'll be protecting it with his "security team".............

Then it will be time to pack up the wagon with all of his needed "supplies" and join up with all of his buddies to hit the car show circuit to look for parts for his NEXT project!!!

Richard.. now that he's got the wagon, he has no need for that UPS girl to show up..
The wagon satisfies "that" need
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.

Wow Rich, it is very rusty - is it savable? Looks like it spent it's whole life on the coast.

Well, Richard, it will need a pile of cash, of which I don't have right now. And I'm sorry, but it won't be painted yellow. It will go back to the original tan. I was thinking of adding power steering and power disc brakes to it when I do fix it up. Neither option will hurt the car because they can be removed easily.
Mike, not sure how to respond, but we never really do know how to respond to you. LOL.
It really is pretty beat up, but the engine runs great, the brakes seem to work correctly. It has bad mufflers or pipes. The rust is the killer because not only does it need a new roof, but really needs new frame work for the roof, A, B , C, and D pillars are all bad at the top, actually the A pillar is bad at the bottom too. So right now, I think I need to figure out what I need for parts, it might be a complete wagon, which I'd hate to cut up, but this one must be saved, I think it's my calling...
I'm just going to mothball it for now, I think I'd like to get in touch with the original owner and talk to him. I think that'd be really cool. Maybe I can even get some old pictures too, who knoes.

Just let me repeat, MY wagon is NOT a parts car."
