    Thanks Bill. It looks a little better in the pic's than in person. A good cleaning will help a bunch. I'll start on that as soon as I get my 67 back on the road.

    wideload are you going to keep it that yellow or go brite yellow. This will be a fun project for you. I'm excited about seeing it someday. I like the stock color just wondering what your thinking

    G-man it will probably stay the color it is for a while. I don't know if that's the stock color or not. It's had body work done before and I asume that it's been repainted. If you look a little closer you'll see that all the badges have been removed. Just hope there's not a lot of body filler hiding under the paint. Looking at the bottom of the van it looks solid so mabe there's nothing other than the usual problem areas. When I do repaint, it will be brite yellow with brown or tan interior. I rubbed on one corner a little the other day and just a good cleaning is going to make it look like its been repainted.

    No but I've looked at it a couple of times. Been busy fixing the 67 and then cleaning up vehicles. Two vans, wife's Marono and the motorcycle in the last three days. Also did the parking light thing that Don posted to the 67 and 65 today. One more van to go then I'll start on the 66. Got to go to Nashville Wednesday to pick up some Fiero seats I bought. Cheaper to drive right now than the shipping he wanted.

    Tom I'm trying to get the 68 ready to sell after I get the 66 a little more dependable. I needed the new seats to put in the 68 because I want to move the ones that are in the 68 now into the 66, their the right color. The seats that came in the 66 are junk. The new seats I'm going after arn't anything special, they need recovering but their better than anything else I've got on hand. Only gave $56 for them.

    Tom I put it up on jack stands, pulled the tires and wheels off and got two of the door locks working. That's been it so far. Have had my mom in the hospital for the last week and now it's the week long Christmas thing.

    Thanks Tom. Got Mom back to the nursing home last night. It's a lot better than the hospital. The people there really care, it's not just a job to them. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Don't slip on the ice! The ice went away here yesterday and it's been raining ever since.
