Been super busy since the move and no time for working on the wagon or updates. But, I will be back at it shortly. To come: pics on the completed workshop now that it has been framed, wired, insulated, drywalled and heat has been added! Also, I have a new daily driver Merkur XR4Ti that I am completing some upgrades on prior to painting the wagon. Anyone remember the XR4Ti?
Here are a couple of pictures of why I need to do some work on it.
Back at the wagon very soon...I promise!
This is a blog that follows the restoration of my classic 1967 Mercury Commuter Station Wagon. The wagon is a restomod built for family travel. Please click on any image on any of the pages for the larger picture. Thanks for looking!

A new home for my projects...
Very excited about the move to our new home that comes with a outbuilding for my car projects!
It's a 30' x 40' outbuilding with power, 12' ceilings, a 16' wide door on the front and a 9' wide x 10' high door on the side. It also included 5-12' high x 9' wide x 4' deep industrial racks. I will be moving the 4-post lift from our current home as well.
I finally have the space I need to do the paint on the wagon! Primer will be done once we complete the move and get settled in.

Paint delayed due to moving!
I know this has been dragging out, but for a good reason. At the end of the month, we will be moving into a new home complete with a 30' x 40' outbuilding. This means I can paint the car on site! It also means that I will have a ton of room to spread out to work on projects.
I will post photos of the new shop once I am in and set up. Until then, thanks for hanging in there!

Still no primer, but...
Still delayed due to life and weather on getting the car into primer, but I did go ahead and drill the holes for the emblems on the rear quarter. The "Commuter" emblem was there, but I found a nice set of "Sport Wagon" emblems (from a Buick, I think) along with a set of race flag emblems from either a Cyclone or Corvette (I forget).
I've been waiting to see these on the car for a couple of years. But, they are back off with the hopes that this Saturday I can finally spray the Ultimate 2K.
Cross you fingers!
