1971 Chevelle Wagon- project "BootLegger"

[Bill Howell]

I am going to cut the back section of the roof off and make it a crew cab El Camino

Would it qualify as a truck at goodguys then?

[Scott Parkhurst]

Looks Killer!! There are a slew of wagons getting the PT treatment now. Man...just when I thought I was being unique. LOL!!

Yancy that thing will be a monster when you get through with it, and honestly, when you're driving it hard and the suspension is really working, you totally forget it's a wagon.

(at least until the event is over and everyone wants a ride to a bar or something...suddenly you're reminded you've got 4 doors and seating for 6)

Oh- I think the 3rd row seat wagons had a different floorpan to accommodate the flip down seat.

Yancy,I dig the long roof. Im going to follow this build! Good luck with the build!

[Finch]

LOL...I was thinking the same damn thing when I was looking it over Brian!!! "El Wagino" If Yancy didn't need the additional doors I also thought it would make a killer panel truck custom.

...or woodgrain and surfboard....

Oh man Yancy.....this car is trouble for me...I could drown you in ideas!

Maybe I should just sell the Camaro and get my own damn family Wagino to chop up. Honey, look what followed me home. But...but...but, see I was thinking about the family. Look 4 doors and a 3rd row seat!

On a serious note I would like to see a rendering or good photoshop with the back glass lowered about 3 inchs so it is in line with the door glass.

Details like that drive me nuts too but I know why GM had to do that though. Screw visibility...make it look cool! LOL

I don't know if we're doing a rear 3/4...it's up to Yancy. That mod has my blessing though, for what it's worth.

I received the Awesome renderings that Ben Hermance did on the Wagon. I like concept 1 the best. What do you think?

[Krazed]

I'm a fan of 1 and 3! Love the Dark/Mean look of 3.. especially if it had Satin black stripes! Maybe even Brushed lips on the wheels... hmmmm

[Bill Howell]

I still think a four door El camino is the way to go.

[vintageracer]

Cut it in half. Shorten the frame so you can use El Camino doors and make a 2 door wagon!

[hechtrod]

3A for me. Dark wheels is mean!

[SimplyKC]

Consider making the B-pillar and door frames black. It make the windows look so much better.

Just take a look at any modern wagon.

[6'9"Witha69]

1 for sure!

[Tony_SS]

I still think a four door El camino is the way to go.

Interesting.. wait... No, dont do that! lol

Those windows need to be tinted to loose the greenhouse effect though!

[406 Q-ship]

I am a fan of #3, Love the dark wheels. Another long roof racer is born.

[bonecrrusher]

#3 ftw!

[796spdbu]

I like the wheels on 2. close second would be 1.

[OLDFLM]

1 with tinted windows FTW!

[Zanie]

3a!!
Very cool. 18s look so right on 70-72s. i need to get rid of my puny 17s and step up.

instead of the SS emblems on the front fenders how about the 67 chevelle "Super Sport" script on the rear quarter, just to mix things up.

BTW, changing out the malibu sweep dash for the super sport gage dash, isn't a big deal............ really.
um, time consuming? yes.

I could only take 2 miles of driving my malibu, before I had to change the dash.

[progoat]

I'm diggin 3A

[Chevrolaine]

Sweet ride! #1 with #3 following real close in 2nd.

That would look awesome with a billet roof rack to haul spare tires on.
