Tom I hope you can make it, as for you van it's looking great

yeah leave it flat black and pin strip it, lookin good!

Shure going to try and make it Chris. Yea I kind of like the black(when I frist saw it thought if was flat black, not metallic grey that been in sun for 30 years??)Got the drivers side striped, You can kind of see how thick it was,what a mess

after the wire wheel hit it with stripping disk[img][/img]
Found somthing in rocker panel,you don't want to find. Nest on back ,soybeans in front part(Indiana mice Condo) This side was sunk in the ground when I got it

Doesn't look to bad though? You found the mouse nest in a rocker, Blowing out the frame rails isn't a bad idea either. Got a collection of rodent stuff out of my 66 doing that.
Tom you sure can move fast on that body stuff. I'm always stuck in 1st or reverse!

Moving right along Tom! Hope to be able to see it in person soon. Looks great.

A little more progress on the L side. This side had had some damage too, at one time.
Who ever fixed it did a good job (30 years ago) I ended up using one of the Cail doors from Mark. Instead of trying to fix rusted out and dented door

Beautiful work Tom! Getting there.

Looks great Tom

Looking really good! Will be ready for paint in no time!!

Nice job Tom.. Those panels are straight indeed! Ken

Got some exopy  on the L side, been alot of long day's(& nights) Starting to look like something agin, now all the stuff I got to get to put it back together. Try figure out how to hold port hole windows in(didn't come with inside rings) I can almost see it doing burn outs again.   More to come.

looking great iam doing the same !!

AWESOME job thoes panels look lazer straight its gonna be a Super Nice Van when its finished that Big Block looks right at home it sits in there nice also. cant wait to see it on the road.!!!!. ...

Nice work indeed!

Sadly finding a ring will be hard, good news round one are more common. What size window???

Your van is moving along nicley just my 2 cents use some thin clip angle to hold the port hole in place then make a piece of wood or alluminun to trim it out.
