The former owner dropped the tags on it and had it at a friends place.
Quicker and easier just to call my Mr Hurley and his roll back.....

I need to get some parts switched out on the 87.As soon as I get it ready for sale I will post pics and a price.

Some body made the comment in another thread that building vans was like building car modles.
I built allot of them when I was a kid.I wish I still had them all.My favorites where the AMT brand modles.Most time you could built there 3 differnet ways.Stock and ussually two form of custom versions.They gave you a varity of custom parts that you could mix and match and create you own car.
Like the AMT I am going to "three into one" this wad of vans.

I have got enough parts right now that I will come away with two decent vans. I will sell off one. I am keeping one and the third one is going to the big "Truck In" in the sky.Parts and pieces of it will live on in the final 2.

Although the flares looked Ok on the shortie.The fit sucked.
so to fixe the problem I came up with Frankin Flare.

[Linked Image]

a strip of fiberglass is going to be bonded to the flare with resin and some matting.
I used the self drilling screws to hold the new extention in place while I gave it a coat of resin......

[Linked Image]

punk flares.......LOL

[Linked Image]

Once the resin sets I can back out the screws and start laying in layers of fine mat.

While swapping out the wheels I found a leaky grease seal in the rear.....No biggie
