Holy cow. I really don't like those wagons, but I gotta say.... that's pretty bad-***. I can't believe you took a couple inches off of that hood. It is still pretty radical.
Congrat's. It looks like you did a really classy job of bringing back a fond memory.

I was thinking they are Keystones also and how they fit that car so well. They were the TT wheels of my generation

Just to ask, do you have any ideas on production numbers for these? I bought one 2 weeks ago, and am not sure on the actual numbers made, cars built by ecklers, etc. Also, do you have a shot of the "mfg. by ecklers" logo in the glass? Here is my thread

I've never been a big fan of these wagon/kits but you did a very nice job on that car

I really like what's under the hood

Could you take picture of the inside?
I always wondered how roomy those are, and how the extra space is "packaged".

When I saw the subject I didn't think I was going to like what I saw but I have to say that I definitely appreciate it. Nice power plant too!!
