I would probably just black out the glass more than likely.

I like your thinking! Here's what a '66 Chevy II wagon is suppose to look like...  download (2) by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr But with the wagon roof section you have, I think you could easily pull off something like this...  download (3) by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr Look forward to seeing what you choose to do! |

That's sweet! Is that a giant turbo right in the grill? I'm thinking about getting the Model Car Garage detail set for my build, which has a nice see through grill.

I would say it looks pretty good.. What is the new roof from ?? Will it have that huge sun-roof ? Or is there a filler piece that goes with the roof section..Needs more trim at the windshield but for first cut it looks good..At least to me anyway ..Hope the front section of the roof is not to wide - looks a little wide in the pic..Hope you don't have to narrow the roof...

The new roof is from a 1965 Lincoln continental kit I haven't built yet it had an option for you to build it as a wagon. It is a little wide but I think I can sand it down to match up the lines. I'm hoping like I said if it doesn't turn out how I've got it in my head I will have another one next weekend lol

bit of a late thought, but I wonder if the 66 chevelle wagon roof might be a better choice? might be a little closer dimention-wise?

I bet it would have fit better. But I'm pretty sure I can get this roof to work. ...it's just going to be rough putting it in the mail once I've got it complete lol
