Just picked up a 1964 Amazon Wagon....wow..it needs ALOT! The plan is to get it road ready again. The engine and drivetrain are GREAT. Runs smooth and like a top. The bad is it doesnt stop well at all. So I plan on having the brakes overhauled. Drums all around so new shoes, cylinders and bleeding should have it stopping like it did in 1964. The overall theme at first will be a rat rod...so It will be dropped, ALOT...and 17" wheels put on it. Then the interior will be gone through and then the exterior.
First jobs:
1. Key is stuck in the ignition...in the on position. So I will be replacing the ignition cylinder. Previous owner installed a push button starter switch so a new ignition cylinder should have that working well.
2. Dead Battery...probably related to number 1 and previous owner didnt drive it much at all in the past few years.
3. Brakes. Get it stopping well.
Once thats done then suspension, interior, and then decide on paint....
Here she is being unloaded from the truck on delivery day!
