That's a cool wagon and nice pictures. check for water leakage under 
the carpets. Had to peel the carpet off
the floors of my wagon before it rusted through. still can,t figure out 
how the water keeps trickling in from the
sides under the kick panels and sill plates? probably need some seam 
sealer, I've put new weather stripping in and
checked the wiper pivots for leakage too.

On the rear quarters I cut or ground out the cancer and pop riveted in 
some sheet metal, since I don't know how to
weld, and bondoed, sand and paint.

wagon stuff is a little tougher to find but keep searching the net, 
ebay, swap-meets etc... it's out there.

good luck
Schuyler
