by Randall711 Sat Aug 03, 2013 6:07 amNew here, just wanted to say hi to everyone, a ton of info has been helpful on this site and I'm very glad I found it. I just picked up a 67 van here in ct. As you can imagine being from the north east it's not perfect by any means but in my eyes not that bad either!

Sorry about the pic I have to do this from my phone at the moment. I just bought a 67 econo. I plan to do a Resto on her and keep it old school with the wide rear tires and some flake and kandy here and there. I have just got it running after 30+ years of it sitting. That 240 runs great!! My next plan of attack is the brakes so then I can actually drive it. Due to it sitting I had to literally smash piece by piece the drums off the front. I've never had that much of an issue getting drums off. Just so you all know I'm not a machinic at all I can do the basic stuff but plan to teach myself more. BUT I have been doing restoration on the Autobody side of things for close to 20 years and this will be my first personal project that I do for myself and I must say I'm real excited about this!!! I will have a lot of questions for you guys but looks like I found a great place!!
