What are you up to?

Worked on installing the front spoiler and Aux. Lights.
Also mounted the Skull & Wings I got from gotavan on the bumper.....


And yes, It is "Snowing" here in Georgis this morning!!!!!!

One more thing. Just an FYI.....
Be careful when triming fiberglass with an Razor-Knife.
Because "S#!T-Happens"

Daaaamn Dan !Man I bet that hurts! I guess you can show who's #1 now.
Yeah,I noticed the snow/ice on windshield.That skull & wings is awesome.

Yep. It hurts like hell. But ya know, I'll be ok. I got lots of "BEER".....

Damn Dan.... I thought I was the only one in stitches right now We know how much you want to come home to Michigan so we had the weather man send you a little taste of home. Hope you got an "apprentice" around there when you need 2 hands, working one handed is a B*&^%. BUt on the up side, you can keep the swelling down by holding the cold beer in that hand.

Van has been home from the body shop for 3 weeks,door seals done,new mirrors installed,trans hanger installed,started degreasing and pressure washtng the underside. Bill

that one of those fancy homemade trans mounts i see there.??? the van looks really good. keeping them stock appearing is the way to go with performance and safety improvements a definite must.................... i was looking at those big driving lites on the other van thinking you will possibly have to hook up a 100 amp alternator when you throw the switch or keep it above 2000 rpm. they will take some power and test your charging system for sure.............. isn't cold beer and a brain fart how you get them cuts?? thats gotta hurt and turn a good workin hand almost useless for a while.

I'll second the thoughts on both those counts ! A WOW and a EEEESSSHH

Yep,
No biggie. Will get the stitches out in a few days and it's been snowing and everything has been iced over the last few days so just taking it easy. While serving in Iraq I've crashed twice, once in a Helicopter and a C130-F, been stabbed and shot once each.... "It's only a flesh wound!" (Monty Python)….. Comparatively speaking, this is just a scratch!

Sorry Dan,I had to laugh at your comment.."It's only a flesh wound!" (Monty Python)….. I can still see dude hoping around ! lol
You brought up something I've seen a lot of others mention also.Service duty.I'm gonna start a new topic,feel free to join in.

Looks like he needs a bigger truck(again). What kind of parts he get this time??? I see what looks like some bench seats??

Some Fiero seats. A couple of 6 cyl HEI distributors. Some other misc van parts along with a couple of door handles Rich bought for his van but turned out not to fit. Hopefully they'll fit mine. From a 3rd gen van one bench seat and another bench seat that converts flat to a bed. If I get my new window van running I'll put them in it. If not they'll be shop seats. At only $15 each and they're in excellent condition I couldn't pass them up.

Say it ain't so Joe, not a window van (looks real solilded) So how many early Chevy Vans is that now?? If you need to get rid of any of your panel vans, you can send them my way(Maybe Don will bring me one ) Sounds like you did have a full truck of parts

Well , I'm no fan of window vans but this one was too good to pass up. And if I didn't it would have probably eventually made it's way to the junkyard. It's been sitting in a backyard for 5 years since the previous owner had some tranny problems with it. Sitting on 4 flat/rotted tires and rusty wheels covered in dirt and grim and decorated with cat prints all over the roof. I dragged it home last weekend and at least the rain we had washed some of the crap off but the first thing this weekend is to clean it up a little and get it on some round tires. And then tear into it and see if it'll run and what it mechanically needs. The only area of the body that needs work is the right hand side roof where it meets the drip rail. Maybe from being parked next to the house where water would drip on it. Or maybe as Don suspects from that side hanging out of a carport on Coronado Island where it was originally from. Other then that it's solid and perfect. Still has the factory stock air cleaner, gas tank, belly pan, and sway bay. Best of all it comes with a set of vintage California plates on it ready to be registered and on the road again.

So what kind of trans does it have??? I bet you'll get it running no problem. The old Chevy 6 are hard to kill. Great to hear you got all the hard to find parts & the set of CA plates. Wonder if its been repainted??

That's going to be one cool van. Can't wait to see it with new paint...

Don, did he have to cut the wheel wells? Can't tell.

Today...... Got Rid of Unsightly Door Glass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




And Mounted Whip antenna Mount !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
