Pulled the wagon out and did a couple circles around the property. I need to check the timing again. It should have more power and the brakes are still kind of spongy.
Back to the shop and fix things.

Hooking up some gauges to keep track of the goings on inside the 500 Caddy. I'm not sure if the lights are working on the dash.

I have another one in my parts car. I'd like to use it with the dash on my upcoming Model A pickup rat rod.

The original owner was a mechanic not a painter. There was collision damage and previous repairs. He painted the front clip and it didn't stick. It created this crazy pattern so I just cleared it because they was no sanding it .

I love the hood!!! It looks like ol skool lace!!!!

Those are cool wagons, Dad had a 59 or 60 back in 64 I spent a lot of time in the back going to the lake camping.

You couldn’t have designed a better pattern [cl

 

[dmw56]

More shots of the engine. The 500 looks small in that engine bay. The only clearance problem was with the headers and steering box.

Polishing a turd! Looks pretty good!

 

[soltz]

And a fine looking turd it is [cl

Damn I went to drive the wagon yesterday and the transmission won't shift out of first gear. I checked the fluid and it was fine?!
Hope something isn't wrong inside.

Vacuum modulator or vacuum line problem? Hopefully it's not internal.

Yeah I need to jack it up and see if it's connected and working. Thanks!

Selling the Safari overseas?

I was contacted by some guy from Germany that do my Safari on Facebook and wants to buy the wagon. I'm kind of leary sell it to someone in Europe. I just don't know the logistics of selling something other than parts to someone in Europe.
Any of you guys or gals have experience selling a car over seas? [S
