Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
Custom! So you've got it mounted to the belly pan? No more percolating carb? Nice addition guys. I think Scottie made a nice choice on the seats. The driver's seat looks really nice in there! 3-Point seat belts next?

Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
It is mounted on the bellypan with a quick disconnect for the wiring,,,,,on these vans if you aint movin, you aint coolin, so the fan keeps the coolant and doghouse temperature down and gets rid of the fumes,,,,,,,it is mandatory that a Vintage van has one,,,,,we got a timer to install once Scott gets his dash sorted out,,,,,he wants to install gauges in his steering column support.......

Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
I really enjoy just the everyday run around things that get done with the van. All the thumbs up, and smiles make it fun for sure.

Just look out for the loose shopping carts. Nasty little dents from those suckers! Glad to hear your On the Road Again!

Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
Well, today was the maiden voyage down to the beach with the van for a surf and cruise...
Later Don met me down there
and as luck has it, it was a good thing too. Seems my alternator took a crap on me and would no longer charge. The van would run once it started, but pretty much every time I would kill the engine, I needed his battery charger(s) to help me get started. That's right, chargers...one wasn't enough.
We cruised some more, got some food and headed back to my house. Once there we did some diagnostics and Don will tell the rest of the story...

Like a guardian angel! Glad it all worked out and you made it home without a tow! New alternator in the shopping cart?

Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
Yeah Vanny. I bought a new alternator and a new battery (mine was the original one from when I bought it and it was tired). Then Don came by and re-clocked it. We installed it and everything is running like a top. In fact, now that I have a new battery I was able to hook my stereo up to a terminal on the fuse box with constant power and keep stored memory on the stereo. In other words, I can program radio stations, but more importantly when I turn it off and then back on, I don't lose my spot on the Mp3 order! Ready to cruise again...

I'm hoping you were just taking in the scenery and not broke down! Did Scottie take that pic?
