Looks good. I'm wondering why you didn't line up the b-pillar with the back of the door. Will you be using a small quarter glass window that rolls up and down right there? Cool either way.

It looks like you gave it a subtle chop also.

Cool project! I worked on one of those a few years ago for a shop down in CT, I don't think it ever got built though.

Thanks I wanted it to look like chevy built a 2 door hard top wagon so it would have had a 1/4 window . The 1/4 window rolls up & down . Heres a pic with the window templates .

It has about a 2in chop . The hard top is about 2in shorter then a sedan.

That is way too cool and I love the hardtop window openings in there! I designed a 64 Fairlane wagon the same way for a guy over in Bremerton that you might have seen. I'm right over the bridge in Tacoma. I'll be watching for that wagon!
