Before this weekend gets here and I get even farther behind, didn't do anything much on the van last weekend. With Moonlites party on Saturday and we stayed over night the days were too short to do much.

I did spend some time cutting up the Vista Cruiser a bit more. I'm trying to save anything that might be worth a buck or two so as to help fund more work on the van.

This is what it looks like now...

That's a Dodge van windshield in the front seat.

I also scored some partial roof ribs and the 2 rear corners for shaving the tail lights out of a van that Ivan parted out.

Another good note... Thanks to Debbie (My wife) and a small loan I was able to order the 1" tubing I needed and I picked it up yesterday!

Time to get that Vista Roof going!

Are you going to cut the glass down for the chop?

Is that Olds 350 worth anything?

Got a buddy that's gonna do my glass and we're planning to shave the vent windows and go with one piece windows.

I'm told it should be, so I'm gonna pull it. It's been sitting a long time, but it turns nicely!

LOL! That would be funny, but the wiring harness is out now so starting it would be difficult.

Unfortunately didn't get to this at all this weekend. I'm fighting a bit of a cold and spent yesterday picking up Ivan's new project. Had a bunch of other stuff to take care of today and had to work on Saturday, but I'm raring to go, so I'll try and get in the garage during the week and for sure next weekend.
