Jag Wagon
In this section, I will she you several pictures from the start to the present of my project we like to call The Jag Wagon. This started life as a Telephone Maintenance truck in Western Kentuck. It was purchased there by Baldwin County Physician John Todd. After several year of ownership, he decided that it was time to let the Ole truck find a new owner. Well, guess who that turned into.....We struck the deal in his storage unit and the truck was mine. At the time, I did not have space to store the truck and the Dr was nice enough to hand me the keys to his storage and told me give them back when you take it out. That said, we have become very good friends. After aSo, some of the things that we saw to start that needed to be looked at or fixed ended up being larger then we planned, but with friends and hard work, we got them worked out. One of the first things was the motor was setting at about a 30-degree angle in the engine bay. upon real inspection, we found that the engine was mounted to the frame by the use of 2 6" pieces of the leaf spring cut and welded straight to the frame, using the bolt eye lit as the mount to the motor. WTH.... That means the motor would never set correctly and we would never get the correct pinion angle for the transmission, so the motor gets pulled to fix that. Next thing I find is that they (whoever was working on this thing for the Good Dr.) had painted the motor with Spray in Rubberized truck bed liner. Yes, rubber bed liner. Again WTH....... After 4 cans of Aircraft stripper, a wire brush and several days, I got that crap off the motor so I would paint it. One problem solver 1000 more to come.

If you look at picture #1 and #2, you will see that the pillar between the middle window and the rear window was removed. I'll say that these "Mechanics" had the idea to replace the 2 windows with a single window. I'll give them cool idea, but not possible. You see the body has a curve from the top to bottom and from front to back meaning you cannot use a flag glass, thus the fact that you lose all rigidity for the side wall of the truck. Next issue, need to find a metal man. Looking to some friends, I located Matt McClary to do the job and what a job he did. Not only did he replace the pillar, but to the naked eye, you'll never know that he widened it and angled the front to match the rear window so that I could use the same glass for all the windows. He also did some custom work on the rear taillights by Frenching in a set of Cadilac Coupe DeVille Taillights. Problem solved, bring on the next.
