Ranchero Topper

Dan, if I ever find a Montego nose, yous may no longer be one of a kind, LOL. Loving the topper too. Can't wait to see your finished product.

 

Don't know where you are, but if anywhere near Hayward, CA, then be aware that there is a Montego like that parked along lower Winton ave, on the south side. Has been for sale off and on for a year now. Some of the grill seems to be missing, but the car doesn't look bent or rusty.

 

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately in this circumstance, I am far away, as in Florida.

 

I got up early today to see the overnight progress of this topper, and found you actually went to bed. Ah well, there's always the long weekend.

 

Dan, What kind of seals are you going to use at the hatch area to make it water tight?

 

What's up next for you? Building a boat, or an airplane. Geez, you got skills.

 

I think a early 70's wagon with 18's, fuel injection, 4-wheel disks, AC, etc. would be the ***. I like the Old's Vista Cruisers with the roof windows.

What you need is a 1974 Montego "GT" wagon sitting next to the chero

 

Go with the 73 waggy!Nice work Dan.Hillbilly must have one..

That is a very cool topper, I have never seen anything like it. Course I live in the mountains. Have you ever used West System Epoxies? After extensive repair on a drift boat, within 6 months the repairs started to delaminate. I had to eat the whole job. I redid it with epoxy resin and 7 years later I still see that boat banging down the river. It is easy to mix if you buy the pumps for the hardener and resins. I don't use polyester resins anymore, of course I don't advertise that I know anything about fiberglass repair either. It is an itchy job, but kind of fun too.
