I LOVE that idea Eric!!

There's a guy in Bainbridge - did a Nova wagon - made it a 2 door.... did the B pillars like a Nomad I think... LS motor -- chopped top - drove it to Power Tour and back...

Bet he's ready to move on to a different project and might give up the body... it has a lot of work in it already. It would be killer! Good idea.

But what do I know -- it's ROGERS project.

I saw that car in person. It does have a ton of work in it and it would be a great platform for the transaxle swap.

Hey Rodger?? How about a wagon?

Well first off I have no intention in copying anybody. The ferambo is an awesome car, but not quite me cup of tea great way to display your work. I have a truck that does this.

The trans should be able to be paddle shifted since a 4L80 can be paddle shifted.

The distance from the rear axle center line has to be pretty long, so that will leave some cars out. I doubt it would fit a camaro, it might fit a 66-67 nova. If we did this to Johns nova he could have that back seat he always dreamed of.

I have been thinking of using it in a street rod, something with a short interior section and a 2 seater. I have a 36 ford 3 window and think it would be cool in that, but maybe to long. But what engine do you hook it up to?

Maybe this http://www.falconerengines.com/bio/bio_l6.php

I was also thinking an almost flat floored 4 seat bubble top impala.

Pantera or GTM super car would be cool also.

like the Impala idea. Sure would be a "one of one" build no matter what you do.

Hey Rodger, uh....did you notice the number at the bottom right corner of the opening page?
