Started fabbing up an aluminum fan shroud with built in led lights. One of the toughest things to do on the old Dodges is putting an electric fan in due to clearance issues with the water pump pulley. Between fabbing up spacers for the 200a alternator and reconfiguring the power steering pump mounts, I've been keeping my nights busy.

Well it must be Close, or you'd be having Nightmares that it would never get Finnished. Cruisin by Christms ? Still was Dreaming of my van done and in the driveway, but I don't know what happened. It has turned into having Nightmares!!!!! It won't be home for Christmas, it will only be in my dreams. While I look at everyone working on their vans!! I have an empty spot. In my driveway. So please everyone do something extra to your vans for me. So I have something more to read and look at to keep my mind occupied. They say it won't be into the booth for several more weeks. Due to Matt not being happy with the prepping. Richard

I just found an 82' tilt column with pulse wipers, was the pulse just a plug in for you?
