I have been working on this for a couple of days, but have postponed posting it because I wasn't too sure if it was feasible even. While he was in Florida a few months ago, a friend dropped off these resin pieces for me to play with.
I'm not a big fan of fading the front fenders of fat fendered cars, so I thought to change this chopped 39 panel back. I had a set of 40 Ford fenders in the stash, and will try to patch them in. Removing the resin modified fenders proved to be quite a chore, but I got 'er done !
Trial fitting.
Some serious patching in with styrene scraps, including a set of inner door panels.
And today, my major helpmate......Bondo !

I never felt that the Wagon Rod was particularly good looking to begin with , so when I saw those faded fenders added to it I kind of scratched my head ! That was a lot of work but I'm glad to see you've restored the fenders back to what they were . Actually I'm just kidding ! I can't wait to see what you come up with this time . . . I've seen a bunch of cool cars built with this body style . Besides , it's a wagon and I love wagons !

The knee is doing quite well. I had a request to do a piece of artwork and now that is finished, so I'll be getting back to this for a bit. ( 'Til they open the knee back up to remove some hardware that broke) But this morning, I shortened the salvaged chassis about a 1/4 inch to get the wheel base matched up. Still looking at a ton of bodywork. My original intent was to build this as a sort of semi-curbside, so my cobbling shouldn't be visible on the final result.

Little more finessing on the bodywork and I have repainted the wheels.

No hood shows the naked pair of 4 bbl s, so digging in the salvage pile brought out a couple of scoops. Might look a little weird pairing them up. We'll see. Putting a little bit of risers to them also.

Not too sure how the finish thing may look, Dog. But it'll probably have to do.
