Yes, he sure did a great job. His eye for detail is amazing. The little sway bars he made are so cool too!
I never could have done it without his help for sure!

My van is finally going through the last test drives and coming back to me all fixed up. The Spa vacation it has been on for quite some time now is at an end.
I will be driving through the wet winter? but still driving my van.
I cannot wait until I see that front end driving up my driveway and back home.

I wanted to know if anyone out there has a good transport company they have used to move vehicles? I will need three vehicles moved in March up from CA to WA. If you have any ideas or leads please let me know.
Thanks

I am headed up to pick up my van from the "Spa" up north. I hear everything is super! I am planning on my longest drive 500 miles. I will take pictures along the route... cause otherwise it didn't happen!

Nice to see you’ve been paying attention Jacke! We always enjoy seeing pics...makes us feel like we’re riding shotgun and taking in the sites with you

Well it is more central WA... so the rain is not too bad. High desert sage brush area.
But it gets windy and cold out! So I should have no heat problems... but it does get warm in summer out that way about 103!
I can't afford to retire here in San Diego! So off I go!

I am going through old boxes and came across a picture of myself and my friend with my first 1964 Chevy Panel Van. It had a 250 straight six and it was my daily driver. No gas gauge and about a 8 inch rubber race wheel! LOL had some strength in the day!

You are very close I was a fresh 20! Not even of a legal drinking age yet. But I sure loved my van... I am so happy I came across this picture. I was packing up old papers etc. and there I was with my friend and my 1st van! 1978
