There is so much to cover on this Yenko site that I completely missed your thread on this Awesome ‘67 wagon.
Boy I love Red interiors on 60’s cars.
I also have a stash of excellent Survivor quality GTO items from 40+ years that comes in handy, such as your spare dash that this wagon needed.
I seem to like the same types of cars that you like (patina here, cracking over there and a few rub through in spots), which is typically on a Survivor car. You can’t duplicate that.
Do I see 97K plus on the odometer?
Fremont built cars (64-67+) had the TT / Data Plate crudely masked off which yours shows. I’ve seen a few BF cars that were painted black but the majority were taped off.
You did good on the orange fogged water pump and brake fluid drippings.
Inner fender skirts look awesome after cleaning.
Fremont bumper jack bases are a rectangular black painted version, whereas the back east (Pontiac cars) plants typically used a square blue painted base.
There are so many products available for cleaning and detailing our Survivor cars, but a couple I’ve used since the 70’s is “never dull” and “bronze wool”.
Love the license plate frames with the black & yellows.
The full tint glass all windows, which is recommended with AC cars looks nice with the white body.
This summer, turn on that air condition in that beautiful red interior and head out.
I’ll be following this thread now.

Better late than never Chris!
I am also a big fan of 60's red interiors especially in white cars.
Odometer shows 07722.0, so rolled over. The L30 runs amazingly well, smooth and quiet, no smoke, added one quart to drive from CA. I see nothing to indicate the heads have ever been off (French locks are still in place!) but I'm sure the timing chain has been replaced.
As you noted, masking of the TT was strictly a Fremont thing on for a '67 Chevelle.
Fremont jacks, have you observed any predominance of either the tube or the tee style shafts?
Follow along as I take this project over the hump.
