Project "G"

Good news, bad news : Good news the very undercoating thats a pain to scape off has been good for saving the undercarriage of this van. Bad News is like any project like this you find more rust than you hoped for and found some not so good body work also. All in all for a Michigan van it's still very little rust.

Heres Don hard at work!!!


Also with a tear down the parts build up


The last few weeks I have been getting together the parts I need for the front disc brakes.

I've never chimed in on this, but I've lurked... this is turning out awesome! Would you be able to share how the shop spec'd the custom springs? IE how different are the from the stock specs? Maybe some ratio exists that can be recommended for E's and A's!

Looking Good Chris, keep the photos coming

Looking great Chris, had to chuckle at the wires hangin out of the windshield opening, thats where mine are right now to .

G-MAN I am still speechless ,Keep the pics coming . Bill

yeah, this project is awesome and fun to follow the progress. i cant wait to see it lowered. everything looks like it is comin together well and it is inspiring to me to break out my wrenches and get to work on mine (if only i had a garage and no snow outside)...

Here some shots of the brackets for the airbags.

Looking good Chris!!! I can't wait to see the finished project!!

I hope I can get your house out this week.



how much of the front floor/tunnel do you want?

Nice pic's Dan. How easy are they to remove? I have never taken one out..

WOW! THAT'S TOTALLY AWSOME! I AM DOING MY REAR FENDER WELLS THE SAME WAY. I DIDNT THINK ABOUT FINDING A DONOR FOR THE CENTER SECTIONS. DO YOU KNOW OF A DONOR FOR THE ECONOLINES THAT WOULD HAVE THE SAME FENDER WELL? HAVE YOU GOTTEN ALL THE SAND OUT OF YOUR EARS YET? LOL! ARE YOU GONNA PAINT THE UNDERCARRIAGE WITH A RUST PAINT LIKE POR15, OR RUST BULLET? I WILL BE ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR MORE PICS OF THE AIR BAG INSTALL, IT'S LOOKING SWEET! - GABE -

After the blasting it looks a little better under there.






next is to spray some rust convertor to get the areas the blasting didn't get well.

Looking Good G!!!

Come and get it G-man..

Damn G ! Thats some pretty serious work your doing.More especially the undercarriage.Hard work,but well worth it.I know,first hand.I've done a '55 Chevy & '66 Galaxie that way.You know whats done,but 80% of the people never take notice of it.Coming around great,man

If I do this,that'll have to be done.But if I do that,those won't look right,unless I do these.But them over there have to come off first.
For some strange reason I bet you can follow 'ThaT'.Haaaa ! Enjoy

Looking good, keep the pic's coming Chris. Ya know I'm going to have to stop by on my way north!

G-MAN ,Looking at the pics again makes me a little wobbly ,some really cool stuff, Going to be awesome . Bill
