I had started this build about 12 years ago. I recently dug it out of my shop and am starting it up again! I was going to do it as a '66 2 door wagon, but have since changed my mind.

This is where I stopped on it 12 years ago.

This what I have done to it in the last couple of days.

Wow! Beautiful connection, almost seamless. Looks like you're going for a panel look. Should be awesome!

Looks like a worthy project. That would make it what, a '66 Nomad Panel Van?

Great work! I'd love to do that with a '69 front clip and cowl induction hood.

Thanks for all the great pics!

Been slow going. Can't seem to get rid of the weld lines in the sides. Added a little color.
