Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Readers Rides "The Beast" is back.....

Scored some nice parts last weekend thanks to Blue 77 sending me a Craig's list link.......
The guy had a sweet rust free set of cab door converted to power windows.....



Also scored a set of 1st gen solid rear doors.



These are a little rough.They will work well as temp doors when I get ready to do the body mod I want to do on the doors that are on my van.

Had her out the other day whipped up on a "Tuner car"......
life is good......I could not help thinking to my self."Here's what a real engine sounds like"... as the "Flow Master twins" where talking smack.....
Getting her ready for next week end's ride.......

........Wookee

nuce, glad that guy had something hat'd help you out, Even better it was a 20-30 min drive so your neck of the woods
Ill let you know if i ever see anything else like that Wookee

Van gods a looking out for me.
Put power to the widow switches and they go up and down....
wooo hooo !!!!!!!

I need to come up with a clean looking loom to go from the door to the door opening/frame.....

Hope to make some door panels tomorrow......

.......Wookee

wookee ,
Looking good ! nice slide show too !

wookee look at the back of ur 70s ughh purple? lol doors... liscene plate side... kinda something that slides like that with the door and wires inside.

I take it its hard to convert those over to power windows?

It is not that hard a couple of Guys on the V.C.V.C site have done it.
I have not had the chance to mess around with the inner door guts too much.
On late models it is easier to just bolt on the whole door........
These doors being rust free with wing window rubbers in good shape was an extra bonus.......

........Wookee

I prolly have something, if you dare put Ford parts on your

It is just nice to report that the old girl could not stay mad at me for paying attention to my late models.
Getting some parts ordered and pricing some materials.
Making arrangements to have said parts installed.
The old girl is back to her old self again.
Now it is time to start making her outside pretty.
I know I have been talking about this for a couple of seasons.
I stopped by a friends shop today and got some more guidance.
Hope fully I will lose an eye sore from my yard this week end and free up some out door work space.
Things are just starting to fall into place.
Most people hate body work.I can't wait to start blocking on the old girl........

Here is a couple pictures of her in her aging "guide coat".





I will be adding pictures as I go along......

........Wookee

Poor chebby van that is getting cut up!
hehehe oh well... some of its parts will live on in Bruised!
