        I LOVE that dang 79 red wagoner !!!

        something about it,.....guess that is why you get all the looks of envy....

        the mirrors are one of my fav things on it
        (after,... of course ,...the rhino grille )

        it does everything better than new trucks

        especially the look, feel, and pride of ownership

        door panels look great
        love the materials color and texture.

        just a moment ago I stumbled across a message from 2018
        where you said you found your wagoner for 800,....I hate you now.

            well it is a dang winner now !

            perfect aging on the red.

            I bet it is the most recognized vehicle in your area.

                  I fabbed up the rear door panels. I won't attach the arm rests or ashtrays. Just the upper and lower faux wood trim and door pulls.

                      Its a trade secret....

                      Maybe large strips of strategically placed adhesive velcro....

                      Maybe not.

                        Why no arm rests/door pulls on the rear doors? Is it ok to just yank on the "open handles" all the time to close the doors? I'd rather use the arm rests like I do now on every vehicle I own.

                          I'll install the door pulls and upper and lower faux wood trim from the old panels.

                          Besides, I never sit in the back.

                            Umm, ok. Not the answer I was expecting. I think it would look better that way though. Leaving it how ya had it, it looked kinda plane jane to me.

                            Does anyone? Occasionally some do in mine. Oddly enough, I've also sat in the back of mine on a few trips.

                              Finished the rear cargo panels. I am really pleased with the results. Cargo Floor and cargo cover are next.
