Re: Amazon driver

I feel honoured that you are working with some Swedish steel if there is anything you need help with from Sweden I might be able to help you.(parts and info) Ya know, your old pickups is our old Volvos.
I've seen a really nice Amazon estate wagon a few times in my hometown with a small block Chevy that is super nice. I'll try to find some pictures for you.

Best regards
Johnny

Sure is funny how pictures make some so-so things look great and things that are really nice look so-so?
He did a quick clean on the seats. My wife still made him take a small red pillow for his date to sit on so she didn't snag her dress (gown?)

Went to Portland for IPD Garage Sale with my wife (the one who started all this Volvo craziness) had a good time.

Re: Amazon driver

Last night we talked about adding some wood slats to the roof rack to carry his long board. Still figuring that out.

The blue one is a 444 or a 544. I know of one getting a 5.0 talk about a tight fit. They are smaller than the Amazon.

Yep the kid is a hard worker, less his bedroom , made it to Nationals in debate. But his knucklehead partner backed out now he has to compete in a different unplanned event because you cannot change partners. Sucks to not follow through as planned. At least he has the option of still competing in Nationals. Pretty proud.

Re: Amazon driver

Here are those bumper pictures. It is a 73. 67 to 72 would be the best looking. These are 1 year only and had an ugly rubber bumper overridder.
Dimensions would be the same.
Tape was zeroed at 10. bumper is 2.5 inches tall. Top extends further toward body than bottom(pic. 2)
My 62 VW Notchback has a similar bumper. Check out Type 3 VW bumpers.
Width on all could be wrong?

Re: Amazon driver

Thanks Mike! That helps. I like this guys 67 Camaro modded f bumper but feel its too thin for my taste. That's why I wanted the Jag specs.
If we go with another bumper I am sure it will need cut/welded.
