1984 245T mLPT B274FT Project

Love seeing updates on your wagon, can’t wait to see a picture of the rear end once everything is put together.
 
Paul, will that be a flat edge along the front of the rear arch? I started down that route and decided I didn't really like it, so I went with front arches on the rear. But mine was in progress when parked, and now it just rusts. :lol:

Where's the Chip Foose artist's rendering? :-P

Michael, that is just the part of the flare on the rear quarter, but it will be continued into the rear door.
 
Michael, here's a rough-in:

I need to read this thread someday. I'm subscribed, but I haven't really looked at it. I saw your video of it going under the knife so I decided I had to at least check in... BEEFY!

What are the advertised rim widths? How did you come up with the tire sizes? Man, those are FAT tires. 255/40-17 doesn't sound like enough width for the front but they look like plenty in the picture!

Cool stuff, sir. I need to read the thread one day.
 
So I think the driver's side is about 90% done. Still a little clean-up work left, but this gives you a pretty good idea of the final product. He's a talented metal shaper for sure and I was glad he agreed to take on this project. 80's Volvo station wagons are a little out of his normal focus.

Rear flare being cleaned up and integrated with sill piece. Also, you can see the roughed-up inner fender fill piece on the floor.
