Back to School!
It’s that time of year, and all of the commercials are “Aimed” for the BACK-to- SCHOOL sales and all!!!! Well I can honestly say, this Dude is back in “School” again??? Yepper!
A few years back, my GF acquired a “Sweeeet” 8 Door A-100 “Shortie”! Well, to make a long story short, It is the same styled Van I first drove in Virginia Beach back when I was a “Young Airdale” at the Naval Air Station there! 1967 Dodge A-100!!!!!
Everyone on the net knows me as a Die-Hard Early Chevy guy, but my “Cherry” was popped on the “VANNING” addiction, with a Dodge A-100!
Anyways, I am back-to-school learning the way the Dodge boys did things, and boy am I ever “Impressed”! Removable Doghouse, who would have thought?? LOL I have poured over schematics, engine specifications, all of the good stuff! Now with it finally out-of-the shop and sporting a new rebuilt fresh 318, I am having a blast! What a difference from the old worn out 6 banger it had!! The “Electric Cut-outs” on the headers surely grabs the attention at some Local Car Shows!!!!! LOL
My next task with “Her” build is designing a nice “Functional” interior! I pretty well have that covered! But still there’s, back to “School” on upholstery, etc!! Lot’s of note taking & parts sourcing !!!
My “Original” Van (40 years) is safely sitting on Jack Stands, awaiting final adjustment of the rear disc brakes. Very long story that I will not go into here.
Good News, is I finally “Retired” from the Rat Race of Industrial Production, I can now “Focus” on what I want, which is “VANNING!” But I still have to “Pay” attention to my Schoolin’ on Dodge A-100’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let the Good Times Roll!
