Todays Random Image (part 2, we continue on....)

Nice pic for sure!
Dan, do you know if that is a current pic?
If so, where that station might be?

It's very cool. Carl I was just doing a search for van pic's and came across it. Really have no idea where it is..

Dan

Looks like early Mercury Cougar to me.

And the rear window looks like a side glass from an Astro van.

Any more pictures of that hillbilly van, I love the vista cruiser top. Do those hold up well or does the top get really weak when that is done, I would think it would be stronger.

Have to agree with Carl on the Cougar tail light Assy.

BB I just found the pic while surfing...

THE LIGHTS ARE FROM A COUGER I AM THINKING 1970 .THE VISTA CRUISER ROOF IS ABOUT 200LB SO YOU HAVE TO ADD SUPPORT TO THE VAN ROOF TO SUPPORT IT . THE HARDEST PART IS YOU NEED THE GLASS IN TO WELD IT. TO KEEP EVERY THING TRUE BEFORE THE MIG WELDER THE GLASS ALWAYS CRACKED FROM THE HEAT OF THE WELDING. THEY DO LOOK GREAT THOU.

Dix sounds like you put them in before, vista tops, so is the roof support from side to side or top to bottom or both. How hard were the tops to put in. and did everything start cracking after some time.

I HELPED TO INSTALL ONLY 1 BUT WHEN YOU CUT THE ROOF , YOU ARE REMOVING 2 SUPPORTS, WE HAD TO RESUPPORT ALL THE WAY AROUND ,WE ALSO SUPPORTED THE VISTA ROOF IT'S SELF. THE GUY DOING THE WELDING WAS 250LB SO IT HAD TO HOLD HIM AS WELL. THE 1ST YEARS 64,65 HAD METAL UNDER THE GLASS ON THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE THE LATER YEARS DID NOT SO YOU HAD TO MAKE YOUR OWN METAL FROM THE GLASS DOWN . WITH THAT I CAN SEE WHY SOME OF THESE WOULD LEAK AND A LOT OF BONDO WAS USED. . ALSO BACK IN THE 70S A LOT OF THIS STUFF WAS DONE IN A HURRY. WITH TODAYS MIG WELDERS YOU HAVE SO MUCH MORE CONTROL. AS FAR AS HOW HARD TO INSTALL ? IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WEEK. SETING IT UP THERE, MOVING IT AROUND , LAYOUT, CUTTING THE ROOF, FABING AND WELDING BONDO .THERE IS A LOT OF WORK THERE. IF YOU LOOK AT G-MAN'S VAN AND DIGZS VANS JUST TO NAME 2 THESE GUYS ARE NOT CUTTING CORNERS WITH THE WORK THEY ARE DOING!!! BUT WHEN THEY ARE DONE THEY KNOW IT WAS DONE RIGHT. (KEEP IT FUN)

Check out the top speed on this Econoline speedometer!

Where did ya get that from Carl?

It's not mine . . . wished it was!
Found the pic in an ad.

May be in Kilometers.

Found this pic of a dash being built for a '32 roadster. Kinda' looks familiar!
