Goals this winter

My goal this winter is to get the interior painted (pors), sound proof the walls and ceiling , paint the doghouse. What do you have planned

I hope to finish the suspension rebuild, replace the doghouse, and get the interior cleaned and painted. If time allows, and I can find one, an LS engine conversion too. A little ambitious, but I am hopeful. Lol.

millwright, I have a 5.3 ls in my 64, start looking for a rotted out chevy truck that way you get the motor, acc, harness. I build my own harness wasn't rocket science, just took some time

I am currently looking in the parts and repairable sections of the ole internet for a complete vehicle like you said. Gotta have the complete running vehicle for all the parts. The hunt is most of the fun.

Now that I'm working and commuting, I'll be lucky to get the fleet running and stay that way!
I'd like to prep all the 66 panel little parts for paint and plating.

Going to get rid of the amp gauge for a volt gauge replace  the gas pedel linkage if i find some and paint the grill lighter silver, already swaped the rear gears,  and go thru making sure the front end is tight.

millwright, I have had the best luck with chevy trucks 1/2 tons on craigslist with rotted frames. The last two I bought , I sold the trans , rear end, panels etc. I ended up with the motor and harness for free!!!!!!!. The one in my 64 I actually made money after the truck was parted out.

Hopefully, I'll be able to rebuild a rear spring perch (rotted out), rewire the van and convert front to disc brakes. Then I can finally drive this old girl! Followed by more rust repair on the rockers, etc.

The plan is to Hopefully have my interior finished before Spring starting on it the first of the year.  ...

Have 2 legs so i can walk again... Havin a broken ankle sucks! All I can do from a wheel chair is look at my van plus my 48 Ford F1 is almost done so i can look at that too!! I cant wait for 2 feet and that ain't snow!!!

Ken sorry to hear that i must have missed that post.

Im planning on getting the heater box in, dash finished, seat belts installed, window fuzzies completed, and a cooling system makeover...woah, that sounds like a lot of work for a guy who has to be at a day job 40 hours a week!

I plane to buff the paint again this winter and enjoy the nice winter weather in FL.

I'm heading south for the winter. Heading to Australia & New Zealand south. I'm tired of winter and boycotting it this year. I may even find another VVanner down there.

maybe =even a GREAT WHITE=  

I hope to get my interior ready, ignition switch and crap moved/dash rdy/3point belts, so I can go to town in the Spring on the paint. Front disc swap if I can round up the parts for less than a mint. I would also like to french in the Lic plate.


Oh, and find 2 more of these for under like 5 bills.....LOL
