67 Nova 2 Door Wagon Project
 

Well I though I would post up some pics of a new project we are working on here in the shop. Its a 1967 Nova 4 door wagon that we are transforming into a 2 door wagon. We are using the longer 2 dr sedan doors and we are planning on having a sliding rear window similiar to a chevelle 2dr wagon. the B pillar is still up in the air as far as what we are shooting for. Here is a rough draft rendering from Jason Rushforth. Plans for the car are LS1 4L65E and TCI mustang II front clip. Stay tuned for more updates.

Awesome project!

I would take the angled post from the rear door and use it on the front door.

That would make it look sweet. Nice project.

Don't pay Jason until he draws in the tires!

Awesome project.I have seen a few of these built before.I love the idea.:thumbsup:

Eric I know im holding out on him til I see some rubber. Actually Jason threw that rough draft idea together pretty quickly for me so I could surprise the owner with a visual concept. Im waiting on the owner to make the trip up here on friday so we can nail down the B pillar design and talk over the sliding rear window and drop off some parts. The owner is really after it looking like it came from the factory as a 2dr wagon. Once we get the little specifics down Jason going to finalize the rendering.

Scott Ya im really enjoying this project. Ive seen a few done over the years. I actually built a 64 Belair 2 dr wagon back in high school but sold it shortly after high school to fund my Chevelle and lost most of the pics of it through moving a few times over the years. It was in Hot Rod mag back in 99 when I took it long haul on the power tour. This project has been in the works for a few years as the owner was interested in the 62 belair 2dr hardtop wagon concept I have on my website but decided he wanted a smaller car so hes been collecting parts for a while and now we are just getting going on it.

This thread and the comments have me thinking more and more about that B-Pillar and I may have to take another stab at it in the morning but what if we do the angle on the back of the door but thicken up the pillar like a Chevelle 2 door wagon? Hmmmm. To be continued........

Just start with a Nomad.... Then you'll have a good looking body to start with.
