What are your van goals for 2010???

For me it's getting the body work done on my 64, then to work on the new motor and trans. I was hoping to have it finished by Baker's 2010, but its looking like Baker's 2011

Mines gonna get bondo'd up, maybe some new sheet metal (very scared), prepped 'n painted. Good Lord, this is gonna be a project.

Spent a great summer doing some criusing in the van but 2010 is going to have alot more road trips.Almost there on the odds and ends on my list of things I will get done on it. Bill

First.....finish the teardown on the parts van and get it gone!! Then I want to get the body done, maybe not painted, but done and primed. Replace the wiring with some updates. Build the cooling tunnel/console and design and at least start on the cab area.

My goal is to actually drive my van for the "first" time... anxious to get her out of the garage and see how that paint looks in the daylight!

planning on dropping the NEW 289 ,alum heads, roller rockers,etc........ in my 61 pick-up

Drive the '67 for the first time, and get it to Milford this year either in primer or paint.

On the 65 chevy,Get the engine and wiring buttoned up, finish the brakes, doghouse and get some seats in it, then work out the bugs. Other than looking like a rusty red rag, the 69 A truck , just needs a brake line and I can drive it around a little.

I'm planning on making a start on mine over Christmas.

Firstly i just want to get it road legal, so it will need some sort of roof, three point seat belts and a parking brake. Then i need to build a wiring loom for it.
After that it will hopefully pass an MOT test, which will allow me to register it and get some number plates for it.
I can't wait to drive it for the first time.....

I have to fix the valve cover leak, mess with some wireing, electronic dist., burn off the rear tires, get new ones, pick up chicks.

Hope to be able to finaly finish my 64 90" after I recover from back surgery last July. Almost ready for paint, seats are fitted and motor is running. Lots of fun with no doors or glass in it !!

Drive it.
And to attend the Nationals in July

I want to finish the interior and hit the van nats with a finished van!

Hope to have all the welding and panel repair done as well and the new 2nd Gen dog house, 2nd Batt box on th 66 by XMas. Figure I will spend Jan-Mar Sanding, Priming, Sanding, Priming, Sanding.... You get the idea!
So in the Apr-May time frame she'll be ready for paint. I also have a 200-4r sitting out back and still looking for a 327 to go with it, but that is a side-bar wish thing that can happen anytime. After paint and putting her all back together with all the goodies I have collected this year I will finish the
inside, complete with storage for all my camping/ fishing gear and then:



..........................."ROAD TRIP"!!!!!!!!!...........................

i want to get a few bodywork issues taken care of and install my sidepipes and the 700r4 in 2010. however, these might have to wait even longer since i am packing up everything in life and moving to the far North East. Maine here i come next summer...

body work and paint by april or may, thinking of a two tone blue body with white roof, new tires and maybe wheels.interior but exterior priority 1..

I'm planning on restoring and recovering the four original seats in my '63 Falcon.

I've already got the seats in the basement with the new foam sitting next to them. Just need to get all the old stuff off, repaint the frames, add the new foam, then sew up the new seat covers.

Should be a fun winter project.

65 Ford Econoline SuperVan: registered by New Years (just finish a couple repairs in progress), some rust.

63 Mercury Econoline Panel: body repairs primer basecoat, underbody and floor finished, reassembled by spring

May Long Weekends (Can and US), still dreaming of driving to Vantasia and Midwest truckins.

Got 68 108 running good, 65 from CA got newer 250 motor , but might have problem 65 from NY still waiting in my back yard & 66 Sportvan(parts van) is still outsde the barn
