What are you up to?

Thanks Joe,
Guess I was just having a brain fart! 6 & 7 springs it is. Now 7 & 7 for me...

Dan

Thats sure seems reasonable for shipping that far doesnt it. Thats gonna pop ya up in the air some I bet ! price is still in the ball park from 2 years ago also.

Yep, I feel more comfortable with little extra space under there and besides with the weld wheels with 225-70-15's up front should ride just fine with both front and back stabilizer bars and of course those extended 295's in back...

And as far as the price goes. If I had ordered just stock replacement springs I think it would have been only about $40 more than what we paid 2 years ago. And think half of that was a shipping increase.

I got the rest of my headliner material and went up to the house just now and finished another panel at lunch! full steam ahead on this project! Bill

New springs are here! 7 & 7 front and back with an extra inch of arch... These are going to be cool! Just wish it would warm up some.. Did put new heater hoses on the Sportvan today.

Dan

Dan its funny how I busted my a$$ today taking a complete pickup truck practically down to nothing and all you are interested in is ta-ta's. I feel like the other Rodney." I get no respect" for the work I did today. Man my body aches too. The passenger side is being turned into a bar,the complete drivers side is headed to Mark in Virginia and the bed floor and roll pan is probaby for Lectricman,also in Va. In case you are wondering,the section Im turning into a bar feells like it weighs a ton.

Hey Tim, I believe that one might even be better than "You're drivin' around in the van I like . . . "!!!

I'm with ya Tim, Started cutting up the 65 today and will be using the front clip for my bar project as well. And I get the "Sore all over". I'm there!

And let's face it..... Ta-ta's in one hand and an old van in the other. Which one would you choose? lol....

Dan

Hey Tim, got the box built on the pallet. Haven't loaded it up yet, I gotta take my van to school this coming week and there is no way to get a loaded pallet on the trailer here, so I have to wait until the trailer is open and then load the pallet up ON the trailer. Hope that makes sense.

Take your time John. As you can see,I ve got plenty on my plate here to deal with so Im in no hurry. Gonna get a passenger side cut off another van and a nose for another guy,hopefully all this week. Its been an extremely busy winter partswise for me. My fab guy helped me today as we also got some measurements for my pickup we are tubbing. The front floor from the one I cut up today is going into my pickup that he is working on. The mans a surgeon with a torch,he is that good. I can cut but he does it in his sleep as he has been at it 30 years and I just do it occasionally. He plans on welding in my floor new this week. Thats the only panels my truck needs aside from tubbing it. Its nice to finally get the ball rolling on it.

Ah the good old days! Bill

I'm with ya.....

It stopped storming and raining ,perfect day for a little cruise! Bill

Made a stop to see a friend and fellow vanner after a little cruise. Bill

Got this stuff in the mail today, some vinyl samples and a some LEDs for the interior lights, I got the white to compare to some local stuff I can get and that silver is way to lightwieght for what I want. It would help if I knew anything about fabric wieghts LOL.
