Yep, sorry, didn't notice that prebending was off the table. Cutting off the rear half of the trunk lid as already posted would work too.

bumpers shock?
burn a hole in them.. be careful,lol.. and hit them with a hammer until they go..I know the older mopars have springs in them which is alittle more fun
if they do..you have to pull them back and weld them to keep them back

easiest way to disable the spring is to remove the nut from the back of the shock and separate the inner shock from the outer tube. Cut off the rod that sticks out and put it back together then weld. Same method works for all Mopar bumper shocks.

Ok guys, how would you go about building a wagon for these types of cars? I've read all about sedan cars, so what im really asking is HOW DO I BUILD THIS VOLARE WAGON?

look at the white one painted like the ghost busters as you come off the hill from fairview canyon, I have always been impressed with how the trunk on that one bent.

No the white one with the ghost buster on the side is a volare/aspen wagon. IMO i have seen aspen and volare wagons do better in the trunk than most all other mopar wagons. Mouse (jarred jensen) from elsinore ran one back when richfield went to the no weld of the hood and trunk for couple years, and his did bad ass.
