It's cursed I tells ya!

*sigh*

At least my conversion van is running great.


I'm in the same boat with ya nate. My brake light has been on since I bought the van (pretty sure back brakes aren't doing anything), my tail lights get brighter when I hit the gas, and I'm hearing weird noises that I don't hear often enough to even guess where they're coming from. maybe it's just my antenna whipping around, and I broke my new spoiler already, either way I feel the same as you. Every time I put something new on something else breaks. I want to yell at the van "he hates these parts!" kind of like in the jerk, "he hates these cans!"


I go to Truck-ins. How about you?

Wow, those are a lot alike. Did you think to ask who did the oval conversion windows? He's also got nearly the same idea for a tube grille that I have, only his tubes were longer, so he removed the entire center trim. I like the sea chest and the overhead console switch center. He's rearranged the electronics modules on the firewall and added a small battery isolator too from the looks of it. Also looks like there's no air con... that's no fun!!

Clear skies!

It's what you learn after you know it all, that counts...

Well I do know that this one is for sale. I believe he is asking $7900. I offered $5500 and got a funny smile/smurk...lol But man is this one ever clean, I mean super clean. He pulls the headers off every 2 years and paints them. And same with the brakes, and alot of other stuff. It is very well cared for, and it shows. A beauty of a 79 she is.
