I love wagons.....................If that is HELL, sign me up

I thought that a motor that looks to be a 421 with dual fours was only available in heaven

Keep up the good work

They usually end up in a tire.

It's looking good.

When you attached the roof rack, did you have a choice in the "direction" of the side supports? (My Safari has the same rack but it looks like your supports point backward whereas mine point foreward.)

Engine-Ear, there were four grommets per support. Wasn't sure which way to mount so I searched some pics on the web. I saw some mounted in that direction so i went with it.
