Out from Hibernation- Post pics! Spring 11

Heres my Wagons current state, and MAN is it good to be driving it again! New wheels(thanks Anthony!) Cant wait for the Mod Days, we should make this summer a great one for the club!

Pulled her out of storage the other day, but...



still needs work




The wagon looks awesome BTW! Just need to paint around the door handles...or shave them?

I took the yellow Chevy out last weekend just to make sure it ran, did pretty well, went to Riverview Pizza in Ipswich with it. No pics.

Washed these two, the Caprice sometime last week, Tuesday maybe? And the Blazer on Friday. Don't know if I'd call them out of hibernation as I had them out all winter, although I parked the Caprice when it snowed real bad.





My truck's front bumper air dam thing was a casualty of the snow, so I yanked it off (sans hand tools) the other day and threw it in the trash. Not sure if I'll put one back on or not. The rot holes on the pass. quarter really need attention soon, the windshield is broken but I can't replace it until I have a time set up with a body shop to sandblast/paint the rust on the pinch weld at the top so a new one can go in, there's a hole on the driver's side behind the rear wheel, rust starting on my front pass. fender...

I'm really starting to think I should just get another Chevy pickup truck that has no rust anywhere...but I don't know if that would be the financially responsible thing to do right now...

Still have to figure out whats going on with this behemoth...it was under a few feet of snow for much of the past two months, the car was completely invisible.

Paul, get that tan paint off of there! I think it's above the clear... Looks great with the spokes!

Marshmallow's snowbank has almost melted! As soon as it rains a good bit, she's back on the road!

Really, so is it possible to get it off without completely ruining the underlying paint?

Forecast says 4 to 8 inches of snow. My wagons will be hibernating a little longer.

Pretty sure... But I've only read it on teh interwebs, so take it FWIW...

Mine has been in forced hibernation for two weeks now. Waiting on a new fuel sending unit. Hoping to be back on the road by this weekend

^^^get some 6 X 6's under those wheels...it could save your life.^^^

OK, maybe 8X8's 4U....never could resist the cheap joke.

Ell oh Ell. Dw, there are 4 ton jackstands under the rear end now. That thing aint moving.

Soon I will be Mastering the Road again

Thanks guys. Next step, paint, quarters, and new rear springs and shocks. Thing is really starting to ride too low in the back. I figure after 18 years, new springs are due

Finally the beast's hibernation is over.

Finally got the car out of the Barn.
Summer is coming!
