Hi RocketsGarage

What an incredible build! I saw you posted about the latching mechanism for the rear seat a while back - what did you end up using? Did you have to fabricate something? Congrats on an amazing vehicle!

Yes, the car is on an Art Morrison full frame. That's the only way using the Ram Horns is possible & it was still a pain. 

I think it has a new custom made frame.

They started the build thread over on the HAMB after the show was over. Still ongoing, well worth having a look at.

Hard to see, but the black wagon appeared to have Ram's Horn exhaust manifolds.. wonder how they fitted those in?  I've wondered before if it would be possible to make them with altered castings to fit the sedan chassis ?.

The headlights are molded in and the front fender stainless is one piece. Lots of little touches including recontouring the front fenders. Only thing I didn't like was rectangle exhaust outlets in the bottom of the rear bumper. The original through bumpers look much better for my money.

Ford made a few two door wagons.  I came across a 1960 2 Dr. wagon in a junk yard once.  Would have made a cool hot rod.
