Thank's guy's it's finaly looking like something again, not like the old  junk  van the guy was going to scrap for about $300. (I gave him $275. & took over 3 hr to get it out of hole and on trailer in blizzard)  Feel good today(LOL)
Ken its got epoxy primer on it ,so going to leave it like this for now(with the 2 color doors(Hey I like it like this) Still working out some of the bugs I didn't deal with when I put motor in.

That's awesome!!!!

That van has come a long ways since you got it, how about a updated picture of that motor

I am planning to make it over to get a look at that awesome progress yet this week Tom! That van has made a complete transformation for sure. I have to totally agree with Gman, you truly are an early saver.
Tom

Stopped today and saw the great bodywork skills in person! I saw this van when Tom first started on it and I must say this thing looks great, sounds good as well. Truly a sleeper, noone would believe there is a big block in there until the go pedal is hit! Next time I am sure it will be screaming down the street nicely!

Tom
