What are you up to?

I love the set up with the a100's,even my kids liked it,going to a car show @ Hooters with the 69 chevy van tonight @ 6:00

Niceplace!

Just got an old pedal car (yeah, another project...)

I need to find one of those for our grandson. If anybody has one for a reasonable price let me know.
Thanks, Larry in East China Mi.

Indeed it is.

Congrats toad!!
Looks like a driveway is in your future.

Yes, thinking some gravel, but van will be put off a little, so not all is win win. Gotta do some polishing of the interior and the house and garage. So some funds will be diverted from the van for a bit. Like I said I found a garage and it comes with a house too. toad

After things get settled it will be only better for your project. Sort of you have put money to the van. Just having a place to work on it and keep it stored is a big thing in the midwest

Some spring cleaning while waiting on more parts to arrive for the 6 banger build.

Yes, heated garage with hot water due to it having an apt over it. Storage and heat means I can work more in the winter instead of hibernate.

I got the econo truck running better not perfect just better. Then proceeded to drive it around the block where it is stored just for the hell of it. Nothing like a first ride in a vehicle you have owned for 2 months.

Kids are here for two weeks so I get to play Mr. Mom while real mom is at work....

Did get a few things done last week. Mailed off several parts to members, Mounted the Windshield visor from the panel on the Sportvan, Cut a few diamond plate inserts and kick-plates for the doors and got some work done on a template for the center section of the dash.

Dan,The sport van is coming along very nicely,it looks great! Bill

Dan the diamond plate looks very cool on the doors

lookin good dude !!!!!!!!!!!!

Went for a drive today and with the new carpet in front and on the doghouse
couldn't believe how quite things were. Bill

Went and retrieved a 63 Econoline pickup about an hour away today. Its one I tried for over 10 years to buy off an old man. It sat in his side yard and never moved. He finally died and the son said come and take it away and its yours for free. Had to put 4 tires on it and got 2 wheels free but the rears were froze solid. Its for parts only but well worth the FREE price and a few hours work to get it home. Has a rebuildable tailgate and a perfect roof which I need for a project of mine. Came home and started loading the trailer up with scrap metal. Tomorrow I ll finish cutting up 2 vans and make a big scrap run. Tuesday I hope to cut up and haul off a free van in a field after stripping it. I will have some helpers for that endeavor thankfully.

Wahoooo! FREE PARTS!!! Congrat's Tim...

Yea free is good:-) I forgot the best part of the story. Since the wheels were locked up it would have been a real chore using a come-a-long to winch it up onto the trailer. Luckily the son(he was about 50) happened to own a track hoe so we hooked my tow strap to the pickup and to the hoe bucket and he used the bucket to pull it up onto the trailer. SWEET and effortless,all for free. Super nice guy too.

Great new Tim!!! The tailgate is a big score

You have all the luck, Tim.
