Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash strawberries and remove stem. Using an egg slicer, slice strawberries and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside.
Whisk together ¾ cup sugar, flour, 2 large eggs and 4 egg yolks (save the egg whites for the meringue), and milk in a heavy sauce pan over medium-low heat, whisking constantly for 8 to 10 minutes or until it reaches the thickness of chilled pudding. (The mixture will just begin to bubble and will be thick enough to hold soft peaks when the whisk is lifted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Place a small amount of pudding mixture on bottom of pie crust. Drain syrup from strawberries. Place strawberries on top of pudding layer.
Layer remaining vanilla wafers over strawberries. Spoon remaining pudding on top.
Beat 4 egg whites on high speed of electric mixer until foamy. Slowly add sugar (about 1 tablespoon at a time), beating until stiff peaks form and sugar has dissolved. Spread over hot filling being sure to seal the edges.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool 1 hour or a wire rack or until completely cool. Chill for at least 4 hours.
