Small Block for EK Wagon

WesternWagon · Post by **WesternWagon** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 10:00 pm

Well the wagon has been a bit of a storage container slowly gathering surface rust, gave it a quick rub and some Anti-Ox
This stuff is amazing, quick wipe with a scouring pad and wipe off with a damp cloth then dry
Ready for som epoxy
Time to get this one moving
Mustang tank tomorrow

I’ll try a bit of a how to

Good to see its going to get some attention Gazza, they all rust over time and I had to do the same thing after a few months passed.

Where does the time go ?

Bit more progress today, tank is in now to try make it look factory, this will require beer. Not sure if I will run the frame, thinking of bead rolling one.
Might have a crack at the 4- link next break
Also had to get some light in there. Rocker cover light
Has been in the making almost as long as the wagon

New interior light

Finally some much needed shed time, bit more progress on the wagon

Some mods to the chassis kit before installing, just waiting on front subframe to come back from blasters.

Steering wheel repaired and sent another column to Alien Retros

Bit more work on the Mustang tank, and assembled IFS
- unpack the 4-Link in the morning

IFS assembled- dam this thing is quality

Hi Gazza;
Good to hear you are back on the wagon.
Who are you using to do your blasting mate, I spoke to Tom at Retroblast just before Xmas to get my wagon blasted to find out he has hurt himself, he does a really fair price for us.
