    The van is running and stopping much better now and with cragar's and new tires which look bad ass. The brakes, carb, cooling system, and transmission were addressed just in the nick of time to get it to the Lone Star Roundup in Austin. Im jealous JD!

    Nice touch with the rims! I agree with Nightmoves on the patina, it looks Marvelous as is!

    The Van did good o her first 400 mile roundtrip.
    I will post a few pics tomorrow.


    I wanted to thank Cory for all the work he did on the Van.
    He is an awesome Mechanic.


    Also, wanted to thank Digz for mailing me the radiator,
    and the extra ashtray and cool stickers he threw in.

    Like a nicely worn pair of jeans...Very comfortable. I really dig that picture. That would also look cool if it was painted on the glove box!
