I'm seeing flares in your future ?? Or maybe an exscuse for that ford 9" ?

Working on the flares as we speak. And if I could find a 9" that's already converted for a chevy 5 that would be very cool. Yeah, since the Sportvan came into the picture the thoughts and plans for the panel started going in a whole new direction!

Moe,
Couldn't wait!!
Picked up these Today. 2nd & 3rd row seats from a 2006 and 2008 Tahoe. Now if just had the van to put them in.... The van should be getting picked up today in Montana, will know tonight...

Also finished making the adaptor for the Segway hoist/Carrier. Came out nice.

Great score Dan! Hey thats cool,on that other van,I've been kinda gettin runaround."well,I ain't been over there,well,I aint talked to" kinda thing but guy wont disclose where it s at either.
Those seats ya got look great man.I bet they'll fit up in there nice.You'll have all kinds of room for the young'uns next year.
Btw...Can ya get a DUI on a Segway?

You CAN get a DUI on a Segway. I know of a guy that got one on his riding mower. If its got a motor,they can burn you. Maybe even on a bicycle,who knows.

The ATF submitted a memorandum back in 1988 to have the wording changed on the law from "Driving under the influence (DUI)" to "Operating a motorized vehicle under the influence". This new wording was to eliminate the “I wasn’t Driving, I was riding” legal loop-hole. And then was able to include boats, scooters, lawn mowers, tractors, 4 wheelers, golf carts and of course Segways… Basically anything with a motor (Gas or Electric) that you can ride in or on…

Besides I can operate the Segway better after I've had a few!!! Just kidding....

Finished moving...................FINALLY!!!! Dont have internet yet though, still waiting for Huges Net to do the insatall...........I'm in the sticks now. Have to use the puter at work, or go to a wifi spot with the lap.

local Cruise-in.. BB's car club puts it on every month at KYOVA Mall in Cannonsburg KY...

Went to a car show Saturday that was on old Central Avenue in St. Petersburg and saw this early Ford.

Went and saw Foghat and Blue Oyster Cult Friday night. Foghat,down to 1 original member wasnt very impressive but ok. Blue Oyster Cult was great and I really enjoyed it. Last night however,I was really surprised to see that Edgar Winter still kicks ass after all these years. It was great and the guy is so talented. He can play any instrument. Go see him if you get the chance.

Dropped the springs and limited slip 3:55 axle out of the '67 pickup, cleaned and primed the 3:91 posi that goes back in. Have to get some U-bolts and spring bolts tomorrow.

I had a fun weekend myself! I modified the old seat bases for my GF's Dodge A-100 to fit the Mustang II seats that came out of my Van at one time, that she recently got re-upholstered. I cut the old bases apart and ground them down to fit the seat and then re-painted them and attached them and re-installed them. Take a look:
