1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon Project

I got tipped by a forum member that I don't need to leave this forum to make
a new project thread even if it isn't a truck. Thumbs up!

This is about my newly acquired '68 Chevy Wagon, originaly manufactured in
Tonawanda (New York), April 16th 1968. Well, that might be the date of the
manufacture of the engine, but it's pretty close, I assume.

Power is provided by a 327 v-8 Turbo Fire, coupled to a Turbo Hydramatic
TH-400 transmission. This wagon came from California to Finland (in the north
of Europe) in 2014, and has been used as a daily driver by its previous owner,
and I bought it the very last days of October 2018.

My daily driver is a 1980 Caprice (previously a hearse), and for summer wheels
a 1957 Pontiac (not a wagon), and I had been looking to get a sixties wagon
for some time and when I happened to get hold on some cash, the result was
this gray beauty.



It drives and runs pretty nicely, and will be a good driver with a bit of service
to the carb and ignition. And some other small stuff. This is not a restoration,
it's about making an old shabby wagon look (and sound) nice.
