Hello everyone. I'm introducing myself and my 1975 Chevelle station wagon project that I will, and have been, doing a resto-mod rebuild on over the coming months and years.. This is my primary family vehicle since I will need 6 seats for me, my wife and my four kids. I’ve never been a minivan person and anything (wagon wise) in current production is too small or too slow or is driving the wrong wheels. This particular station wagon has a lot of family history. It has been in our family for all but one year of its life. I grew up riding in it, it moved us (hauling a large trailer) from Washington to Arizona, I learned to drive in it, I helped rebuild my first engine for it and the list goes on. Finally it is my turn to raise my kids with the help of this unwavering member of our family. This old wagon has a lot of wear and use showing after 500,000 miles so it really needs some rebuilding. It's on its third engine and third transmission and celebrating its 40th birthday this year.
Here is what she looked like when I bought her from my Dad in 2011.
This is a nearly current shot.
As for me, I’m an engineer involved in the automotive aftermarket. I’ve been a hot rodder for as long as I’ve been able to speak the words. Speed and horsepower could easily be my middle names. I’ll do my best to document the project as it proceeds. I’m more than willing to lend a technical hand when I can and I look forward to your help and input as well.
