For my ‘56 ranch wagon, I used restoration specialties y526 in the 96” length for each window. I got it from them uncrimped (you have to ask for this). The uncrimped allows you make the bends without messing up the channel.

I got the same letter about my Street Rodder subscription. I didn't like the options either, so I sent them an email and told them they owed me an extension on my Hot Rod subscription. They have agreed to do that. I hope Hot Rod survives.

Thanks for the replies. I was on,y looking for some general information. If I decide to sell it, I will provide all the documentation , photos, etc.

The engine has been professionally rebuilt. I don't have a video at this time, but I do have documentation. I am just looking for a ballpark figure as to its worth. Thanks.

I have a freshly rebuilt '47 flathead. It has less than 100 miles on it. Anyone out there have an idea of what it's worth?

I used Sanderson hugger headers for my '56 ranch wagon with a 302 & 5 speed tremec transmission.

I have had excellent results and good pricing from Superior Chrome Plating. They are located in Houston, Tx. Website: justchrome it.com

I had a similar problem with my 302. It turned out to be the ford electronic ignition. Replaced it with am MSD distributor. Problem solved

I found that adding dynamat to the backside of the panels helped a lot in deadening the sound.

On my ranch wagon, I attached dynamat to the back side of the side panels.

I like it!

Auto City Classics will have what you need. autocityclassic.com or phone: 1-800-828-2212. I bought a windshield, door glass and side glass for my '56 ranch wagon from them. Quick delivery and excellent service.

A final word on the Metro weatherstripping. I ordered the LP-64A weatherstripping on the 14th, received it in the mail on the 18th (great service from Metro!). Last night, per your suggestion, I removed the old weatherstripping from the front post to the rear post leaving the existing...

Thank you for the information on the door seals. Much appreciated!

I have not noticed any shake in my '56 ranch wagon.

I have the Dennis Carpenter weatherstripping on my car. I might as well have no weatherstripping at all. I'm curious as to which dodge weatherstripping you used. I would love to change mine out if it made for a leak free door. Thanks!

A couple of pictures of my '56 restomod ranch wagon.

I used rubbing alcohol and a knife to clean up the mess. The driver's side windows were not hard to remove, but the previous owner had glued down the right side slider, and I cracked the glass getting it out. No big deal, it needed to be replaced anyway. The key is to go slow, and they come out...

I didn't find it too wide, and there wasn't any interference. You need to get one end uncrimped so that the stainless and the fabric will bend together. If it's not uncrimped on one end the stainless beads will kink as you bend it.

For the stationary window, I used Steele Rubber- part number 70-3598-99. I ordered 14ft to do both windows. For the sliders, I ordered from Restoration Specialties & Supply. Part number Y526-96-WIN X 2. I ordered these uncrimped on one end, to allow them to be bent into the needed shape. I will...
