I imagine any 1977-1992 Chevrolet fullsize or 1977-1986 (?) Olds/Pontiac/Buick. Unsure though.....for the front clips.

Any 77-92 Fullsize, the 77-86 BOP's will fit but the holes are just a bit off and you have to shoehorn a bit, not too bad though.

I'm running a notched bubble wagon....are you guys doing Anything with cutting the support dimples on the rear pan to help it roll up easier? Or is there another method to help it come up nicer? Humps are going to be dimpled too.

There should be a round bubble, by where the spare was, cut a slice in there. And I'm not sure, but on our Sedan there was also one on right behind the taillight valence. I'd cut around it or in that as well.

^^^ He's right, there should be two "bubble" looking relief points. At the very least slice these open. They are also usually a good indicator of where to put your frame notches.

Shake N Bake 75x has built/helped build some pretty good metric wagons. I have personally seen them and have seen him look at wagon that was not built right and say what was going to happen. Well, it happened. I would take his advice, ask for pictures, too. He has some decent pictures that will help a lot.
