Looks Great falconvan.
How many gallons of paint? [ddd
I started in the body shops during the heyday of the "Van" craze. Mid 70's
Painted more then a few as well as spray brushing a mural or two on the sides.
Mostly some sort of naked lady.
What were we thinking.:: [ddd

[falconvan]

Thanks! Took a gallon and a half of paint to do three coats. I love the old 70's customs; if it had been a panel van rather than a window van I would have considered it.

 

[falconvan]

Hopefully I can do a test fire on the motor this coming weekend.

 

[smallfoot]

Just for the karma! It'll fire right up!!!

I am a firm believer that engines WANT to run. even still, have all my flinders and toers crossed.

Got the fuel and cooling lines plumbed, dash put together and it fired right up. Carb is leaking gas so I have to rebuild it but the motor sounds good and all the vital signs look good. I pulled the rear springs back off so I can drop them at the spring shop and have them lowered a little; they put way too much arch in them when they rebuilt them.

 

[bob w]

How many projects have you built while on the site? You are a building maniac!

 

[Old Iron]
