blksheep Mar 16th, 10, 9:21 AM Well,...just thought I would submit a couple of pix of my '72 Wagon. I built it bout 4 years ago and have about 12K miles since. 30 over 350, 700r4, 3:73's, PowerTrac posi, 4wdisc, buckets.............. blksheep...in Charlotte Grumpy Mar 16th, 10, 9:36 AM One sweet ride. I love wagons. Rigo Mar 16th, 10, 10:51 AM Nice wagon! Hutch85 Mar 16th, 10, 11:16 AM Very nice! I like how you've painted the b-pillars black to match the window tint, almost didn't catch that :) What wheels are those? I've been looking around at various wheels to see what might look good on a wagon, I like yours. chevygod Mar 16th, 10, 11:43 AM Hey blksheep, Looks very nice. Gives me something to strive for with mine! What did the sport mirrors come from? Do they interfere with the vent windows? Also 4 wheel disc... was it a kit or sourced form wrecking yards? Any interior pics? Cool car! Tom blksheep Mar 16th, 10, 12:28 PM Thanks for the cudos............... The 17" wheels are MB brand and are available at discounttiredirect.com. They are chrome, 8"x17" and with 245/45/17 Nitto 555's, fit perfectly. Heres the best part. Mounted,w/ chrome stems, locking lugs and shipping for less that $1,300.00. Since these pix, I covered the vent window chrome with vinyl film from a sign shop. Just apply and use a heat gun to shrink. Looks like paint and holds up (3years old) real well. The sport mirrors are from a '73-'77 El Camino/Monte. Just be sure to use that base gasket, as it gives the correct angle. Your vent window will open about 75% before touching mirror. No biggy for me, I just flip the air on. The 4wdisc are Wilwood units from Summit. Interior pix to follow.............................. blksheep...in Charlotte 72 malibu Mar 16th, 10, 12:54 PM Nice ride - I don't remeber my parents '72 Greenbriar looking this good - lol. Highway Star Mar 16th, 10, 1:09 PM That wagon is HOT. I like wagons, but really like yours. I like the bright trim around the grille, but not across the other horizontal "rungs" of the grill. I want to do that to the front of my Malibu. I wonder what yours would look like with the A or C pillar blacked out. Did you think about that when you were building it? Robinls5 Mar 16th, 10, 1:13 PM Super Nice wagon !!!! I built a 70 wagon and just love it........ Keep the wagons rollin ! Then someday we can have a " Wagon Train " Bob:D steve_sutherland Mar 16th, 10, 2:15 PM Looks really good, I like the subtle changes like the black pillar between the windows :thumbsup: thats a really beautiful car thechevellekid Mar 16th, 10, 2:24 PM Nice!!! :bow::thumbsup: Chris R Mar 16th, 10, 10:32 PM No complaints here.:beers: blksheep Mar 17th, 10, 11:00 AM Heres a pic of the tag on my '72 wagon................... chevygod Mar 17th, 10, 11:54 AM Hey, blksheep, NC lets you have 8 characters? That's cool! Man, I had all kinds of cool ideas for personalized plates for my wagon... but it still has the original blue and gold California plates it got when first registered back in the day... faded but intact! I guess I won't be getting personalized plates! Best, Tom Hutch85 Mar 18th, 10, 12:37 AM The 17" wheels are MB brand and are available at discounttiredirect.com.
