1962 cross country wagon

1st turbo build. Already have a 5.3 and 4l80. Picked up the wagon this weekend. I'll use ebay 88mm. Should be fun.

Wagons make great sleepers and you can haul everything.

Pretty bitchen. You should check out my 63 classic 660 build on here. Love the 62 and earlier body style.

Ordering some ebay turbo headers today. Been switching back and forth on ebay 88mm or twin ebay t70's. Twins look cool! Putting a 98 mustang strut front suspension with manual rack, should drive nice anyway.

It's been awhile, so I thought I'd share some progress shots. I'm thinking of these turbos on a 5.3. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/171129016178
Watcha think. Thanks Rick
