  • Dad and me work on an abandoned restoration project. This 1962 Chevy belair wagon was someone’s stalled project they lost interest in and sold to us. We don’t know what they did to it so we’re going to see if it runs.

    What do you guys think we should do with this 62 belair wagon ? Also who is going to the duct tape drags here in Tucson in late September? I think me and dad are going to go

      Puddin's fab Shop's build is sort of the thing I would go for other than that IMHO his sits a tad too low to be practical. And I hate auto boxes so maybe a 5sp conversion, done up as a good handling and braking (discs!) car for long distance trips. You're in AZ so aircon is another option I'd consider. Oh and since they already messed with the original paint there's no patina to preserve, so maybe a proper paint job when time and/or money allow...

      Updated restoration, make it better, but 'original' upgrade steering/suspension, brakes to modern add an underdash A/C & good stereo, new headliner & upholstery and you've a 'goin' places in comfort & style' car.😎

    Hey, Travis. Another great video. Your 62 wagon fired up good. Looks like a late model 350 because of the dipstick being on the passenger side. Also. The 60 ElCamino is looking great! Rick has some monster skills with the bodywork. Wishing you both continued fun and sucsess. 👍

    Alot of the older impala, would of come with a 2 speed power glide! Or the 350/350. Or you could of got a swapped turbo400 if you got lucky, she is very straight, body is nice. Frame is super clean. This should go as easy as the elco

    Score nice shape compare to Puddin's Fab Shop 61 wagon with straight six he had to replace the floor, this is going to be fun to watch, run the numbers on the block i'm guessing it has a high lift cam.

    Man you’re way ahead of what pudden started with because he had major rust in the roof and floor pans and other panels but his wagon has a lot more options but it’s super cool car no matter what. I bet under the hood is Ear Busting loud N Boomer.

    Other than swapping out the power glide for say a 700R4... just clean it up, paint it.. don't make it too pretty, and drive the wheels off that thing. I prefer 4 doors too... especially in a wagon.

    You can get every trim piece and replace the faded out Chevy emblems from a company called Year One. When i was rebuilding a 66 caprice a while back i could have rebuilt the whole car from their catalogue. You might know of some cheaper sources. Puddins Chevy is a 1961 Parkwood.
