How to build a Cuda Wagon?????

I say don't do it to any E body. But, if you must, I think a new Dodge Magnum back half would look cool.

If the E and B Bodies share the same structure from the firewall forward, does that mean I could also start with a Coronet wagon?  That would give me more possible donors.

The wagon has to be a 71-74 b body wagon. Pre 71 b bodies, post 74 b bodies and c-bodies won't work.
Other than the upper cowl and w/s pillars, you could use the floor forward including the trans/torsion bar crossmember from a 70-74 barracuda and weld it into the 71-74 wagon body. You would only need to alter the front edge of the front doors from the wagon to align up with the barracuda fenders. Your time, energy and dollars will be much better spent restoring the barracuda though.

If the firewall, inner fenders and core support are the same between an E-body and the B-body wagon, can I just bolt on some modified Cuda fenders?  If so I won't need a real Cuda at all.  I could use almost all repro parts.  The fenders and hood are available in fiberglass, and most of the other parts are being re-popped.  I believe the only 71 Cuda front end parts not currently being reproduced are the valence, header/latch assembly, bumper brackets, and grille chrome trim.

That sounds like the simpliest approach, and as long as you go 71 Cuda, you can keep the 4 headlight configuration. Otherwise you would run into core support differences between the 2 and 4 light systems. I think all the 71-74 wagons in Dodge and Plymouth both were 4 headlights.
