I agree with ndjarrett also that belly pan is worth its weight in gold..... (Well maby not that much) and I see some other good parts also but I guess we will all have wait to see what you will need first to be able to get it on the road.!!!!......................GOOD LUCK... cheers

    Digz thanks for the offer, I'm taking it to a buddy's house on Saturday to fix the hole. The sunroof was cut into the rib section??? No way that would ever seal. I have a piece of metal to fix it. Joe we were both at Gotavans one day and do you remember that Display Dan sold??? Well that van is the van most of the extra parts came from the metal patch for the roof also. The belly pan is the pan for the van so that won't go. Have alot of boxes to go threw to know what I really have. Dix this is a budget project for sure and think I will keep those rims and caps. Just have to paint the rims. I think they are 14"'s

    My father-inlaw will be driving it up to Baker's. Have some stuff to do. The ride is much more ruff than my 69 G20. Have to tune it up running rich and have to bring down the timing.
    Feels good to be busy again.
