Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Where did you get the clips for the wires? I like that, really clean.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Got the vintage air unit installed, all the vents installed, wired up. Condenser kit installed and hoses run. Now just needs the compressor mounted and the ac hoses cut and crimped. I love this stuff

Mounted the dakota digitals gauges in the housings. Looks great. ALso found a perfect spot for the dakota digital cruise box to sit behind the gauges. So all you will see of the cruise is the switch stalk and a single cable coming out of the firewall to carb.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Had a friend come over tonight and help me install the engine and trans. I am loving how it is looking. Went ahead and fired up the air ride and had to take a look at it all the way aired out and up. These are huge motivation pictures for me. It shouldnt be too long before it runs.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Looking great! Keep at it. I got to bump the key over on the car last night and hear it crank for the first time in months. That alone was motivation!

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Installed the accessories, fuel pump, carb and mocked up the air cleaner. I cant decide if i am going to paint the air cleaner housing or not because it still has that orange writing on it. STarted laying out the engine wiring and ran out of propane in the heater so i had to call it a night.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Everything else looks so good, seems a shame not to paint it. Just my .02. Either way, great ride.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
I would check with the Impala restoration parts places like Late Great, Year One, or Classic Industries, and see if they carry a water slide decal or a vinyl mask. The Impala restoration guys are super meticulous and I can almost guarantee that somebody carries that decal.
You gotta paint the air cleaner. Everything you've done so far looks too nice, and every time you pop the hood, you'll be happy you did.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
I used to have a vinyl plotter and I could scan and cut stuff like that at my last job. It was pretty slick and something like that wouldn't have been very pricey.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Been progressing along. Lots more wiring with the aaw wiring kit. I love how the kit is setup but it does take some time to get everything laid out and crimped.
I bought an ac hose crimp tool so i dont have to take the hoses all back out which involves removing the heater box again on this car. SHould have bought this tool on the first vintage air job i did. Took no time at all to crimp the ends. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Couple of shots showing the headlight wiring. All of these terminations have to be made. I bought the correct crimpers and it made very easy work of it.
Took 3 trips to the parts store to finally get the correct length belts. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
I think i have all the dash wiring finished up so i mounted up the dakota digitals gauges. Man i love these things, that elevel controller is pretty sick also. SHouldnt be too long before i fire the engine and brake in the cam.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Not really related at all but i got in this sweet 78 c20 Bonanza in at work to make it run better. I dont remember ever seeing the bonanza name. Lots of options on this one, they had to use 2 stickers on the glove box to print them all.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Great progress! DD gauges look really good...put them in my 56 Chevy and really like them too. The crimper is really handy and apparently I haven't mastered mine yet as I had a hose let go at the crimp.
Wagon is looking awesome! |
