Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack
"Thanks! What is a whip?"
i had to go look up what it was...i was curious to... definition: In the early automobile era, the steering wheel became known as the*whip. In more modern times, various hiphop artists noticed that the Mercedes Benz logo resembled a steering wheel, which as mentioned was also known as the*whip. So by association, the Mercedes Benz and later any fancy*car*was called a*whip.

Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack
Nice build! I've been a fan of wagons since I was a kid in the early 60's. Of course in those days you could play in the back while cruising down the road. Wagons always bring back good memories.

Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack
2 weeks ago I bought a transmission, and it came with some extra parts! :-)
Of course I had to test it out to make sure it worked well! If anyone can coach me on how to embed a YouTube video I'd be happy to learn..... I figured out the link to copy, just don't know how to put it in here.....so I'm giving the direct link instead. https://youtu.be/cYJ1yuosgYo .

Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack
Even though I haven't been updating this thread, I have been making progress. I procured an engine, a 2014 6.0 with 79k miles. I also retrieved my transmission out of the van I bought for it.

Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack
And since winter time is build time, I got the wagon out of storage towards the end of last year. I wanted to test fit a few things to verify clearance, etc. and then it was time to tear it down.

Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack
I knew the floors of the wagon needed work. What I did't know yet was how much work. The only true way to see what kind of condition they're in is to blast them, so that was next. No parts were ordered until this was done. The pictures make them look better than they are in real life, they were swiss cheese.

Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack
I needed a solid place to start. The inner rockers were not solid, so that seemed like a good place to start. The outer rockers seemed fine, so I went about removing the inners so that I could gain access to the inside cavity of the rocker, anticipating that I would sandblast inside of them and epoxy before putting it back together. I also decided that since I had the equipment, I'd make the new inner rockers Boy how metal seemingly disappears when you hit it with pressurized black beauty! I made a little "booth" to contain the mess in my garage, it did not contain the mess. It worked good for confining the media to one area, but the dust that was created went everywhere!

Looking good! Those rust repairs make my floor patches in my J10 look pretty simple!
What brake and shear tools do you use for the sheet metal?
