    I just joined up.

    I've had my '65 Econoline for about 5 years. I drove it around with the 170/3-spd for a couple of years, then yanked it, had 2 kids, and finally got it back on the road this past fall... with a Lincoln 5.0L HO, Edelbrock carb & intake, ceramic-coated Mustang headers, 240 3-spd trans, '62 Galaxie 9" with 3.50 POSI gears, aluminum radiator, SPAL fan, D&D disk brake kit, dual MC, and custom upholstery... now onto body work...

    I built it as a band and parts hauler... and occassional drag racer

    The seats are stock Econoline seats. My wife had them re-upholstered for my 40th birthday Smile by OldCarMike on the HAMB. White vinyl and mint green metalflake vinyl. Yeah... they're gonna get dirty. Smile I have 2 more seats exactly like them that I've mounted to the rear wheel well humps, but I don't have pics yet. I just can't capture the vinyl in the right light

    Here's a slightly better pic of the tach, and the fire extinguisher. I still need to stripe them

    I was trying to be "nice"! Later I thought "Oh S#!t!" or "Oh @#$%!!" would've been better. Oh well. Everyone just sees "On Ho!" for some reason. Very Happy
