    Welcome.

    There's a positive side to waiting as long as you have. Now almost all of the parts are reproduced.
    What are you missing?
    Got any pictures?

    I'm a card-carrying member of the "take-one-apart-and-leave-it-sitting" club. I got my '55 150 Handyman back in 1979 when I was a kid. I took it apart that summer to have it painted and then my Mom bought me a running '68 Camaro, so the wagon went into storage. About 7 years ago I asked my Dad for the wagon and he gave me the ol' "I think I'm going to restore it" line......It's been sitting in storage for 7 more years. Haha.

    My Mom actually told me to come get it last year , but I don't have space for it right now. Let's see.... '79 to now is 34 years in hibernation....looks like I'm in 3rd place in this post.
