    Well Tom, I ain't going to haul doors across the country or cut up good ones,,,,,,,but I have the original rear doors off my van sitting around rusting away,,,,,,there are some holes on the outside panels but the bottoms and rear are good. If you want them, I will cut off the lower 12" sections and haul them out to WideLoads around May 7th.

    Sounds like the plan is coming together. So what day should the Monkey and Possum be expecting to see Don? I got at least one other critter that want's to know when you'll be here.

    Don I'm on the Ogden Landing part of that road. The point where the name changes is the corner that we stopped at last year where I got out of the van and told you that we were at Monkey's Eyebrow.
    My address is 13025 Ogden Landing Rd. Kevil, Ky.

    That would be about Wednesday? I'll try to make it over there for the day. Let me know when you might be pulling through. It would be great to finally meet you! Too bad you're in the MH and not your Chevy, a photo with both our window option Chevy Vans would be cool!

    Don , I wouldn't want you to cut up good doors, Your old ones look savable to me (would be good ones around here) I was hoping to meet you down at Mikes , but got some out of town work to do (you don't work & you don't get paid)??
