      Got the Wagon a Christmas present!

      Hey guys, sorry haven't been on here in awhile. I've been enjoying my wagon, but decided it's time to take it to the Next Level!

      Currently:
      '72 Chevelle "SS" Wagon
      454 BB / 200R4
      Coilovers
      12 bolt 3.55 rear
      Quick ratio steering box
      4 wheel disc brakes
      SS interior including buckets and a Monte Carlo dash

      Two phase renovation:
      Phase 1 - Drivetrain, A/C and dash
      Phase 2 - Interior including, new carpet, power windows/locks, custom door cards, floor shifter and console, 4 buckets, stereo and Nav

      Here's how the Wagon looks now:

      For Christmas Santa bought the Wagon this:

      Unwrapped! LS3 / 495 HP with a 4L70E

      I'll keep you up to date on the progress.

      Thanks, have a great New Year!

      Really nice wagon. Love the wheel choice with the color of the car. That LS swap will transform the car. You'll love it even more.

      That is a great looking wagon. The problem with is forum is that I see so many cool cars. I want a truck, a wagon, and everything else in between!

      It's been awhile since I started purchasing the parts, but the wagon is being torn down for the rebuild to include:
      all new powertrain
      paint & body with a new color
      new custom interior

      Here are some progress pics...
