Hi all.
Just got interested in saving my old 76 Dodge van.
It was tricked out way back when and I have some work to do with it.
Grew up in the wrecking business, restored classic fiberglass boats, which I will be dragging around with my Van too.

Thanks guys.
I need to get more pictures taken as she was in pretty bad shape.
The good exwife let one of those costco tents beat the hell out of it so more damage now
Uh Oh...
Just looked to see how to upload pictures..
I don't use places like that to store my photos.
I run a Vbulletin board that is completey different than this one. www.classicboatclub.com and you just upload images...
I will go look again to see if I missed something..

I just sent to photobucket....Wow, not impressed at all.

Anyone know of other ways to do the photo storage?
I also went and created an avatar like it said, no more or less than 80x80, copied the link and got, wrong format..
Hard learning things when you get older than dirt, but hey, I am trying...Just like to complain as its part of old age so they tell me :-)

Ok, that didn't work.......Oh well, will try later.

You have to save it. Get it out of the weeds and get to work.

Already did some to her.
Carb off and rebuilt, new belts, new hoses, new front drive shaft yoke, new U joints and removed all the windows for a reseal.
Good start.
Now having brake issues with her. Replaced he master cylinder but right front caliper wants to hang up, Once in a while.
That, Once in a while is always at a very bad time.

Next is new calipers, pads (even though they are still looking new from last brake job, same with new rotors), have my rotors ground, new bearings, races, seals and then bleed the system out for fresh fluid.
Should be on that during this coming week.
