I measured six times before I drilled the 18 holes for the roof rack. I put pipe dope on the screw threads to help keep the water out.
The rubber nut things are called "Well Nuts".
I think it looks pretty good.

Nice! Wagons always look better with a roof rack. I'll bet you're glad to check that one off your list!!

Very nice, Jeff! Looks like you're ready to throw some luggage up there and go camping/moteling for a week or so.

You are a braver man than me Jeff. I would have cringed to drill a bunch of holes in my wagon roof. But it looks really nice.
Some vintage Skyway luggage would look nice up there. I suspect it is for looks more and not so much for use? In other words... empty luggage?

Monte Carlo bar is on. I had to slot the two inner bolt holes on the apron about 3/16” to get the top to rest on the fenders. Now to repair my belly bar where three POs ago cut for exhaust clearance.

Here is what a few hours and $20 in paint can give you. When I change the drive-line in a year or two I will be able to do a better job. At least for now I wont be terribly embarrassed when I open the hood.
I was shocked when, after reassembling the harnesses and installing all the bits, it fired right up. My horn isn't working but I ran out of daylight to troubleshoot. I'm guessing the fresh paint insulated the relay from chassis ground.
I also gave up the bungee cord that used to hold down my battery.
Mounted the skirts.
