    Hi everyone,

    I've been a lurker here for a while now but I just picked up my first van (1966 Sportsman) last week, so I figured I should officially join in on the fun. I have had a "few" custom rides over the years, but I have never had a van, so I am really looking forward to this new project. I am warning all of you in advance...I have a lot of questions! Also, as much as I appreciate all the work and effort that goes into a restored vehicle, I am warning all you traditionalists that I am not much of a "stock" guy so you may think some of my ideas or choices are crazy Shocked ...but I'm ok with that.

    Pics to come soon Very Happy

    Thanks everyone!

    Lets see if the posting pics thing works...

    [img]NEWBIE HERE. Hello to everyone ;-) Now with pics! IMG_0982[/img]

    [img]NEWBIE HERE. Hello to everyone ;-) Now with pics! IMG_0986[/img]

    Pics are taken 5 minutes before I bought her.

    The couple I bought her from are the nicest people!

    They have taken good care of her over the last 15 years.

    She needs a bit of work, but I think it's a great starting point.

    Bought her in NorCal and drove her back up I-5 last week.

    She runs like a champ (stock 318/727)...and yes, she has A/C!
