Urban van work at its finest! Before: After: There were a few areas where the paint was cracked, and some of it came off with the graphics (hence the temporary primer job.) Next step: Some minor bodywork and sanding, and a whole lot of touch-up paint. Since I park it on the streets of New York every night, I really can rationalize a new paint job (even if I could afford it!) The plan for the summer is to touch-up the white the best I can, and then put on some new wheels and cooler graphics. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 | Hi, LOOKING GOOD, WHAT did you clean the underside with before paint? steam clean? | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 4,043 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 4,043 | Dropped the gas tank and cleaned it up, painted with POR-15

So i spent my day installing MSD plugwires and autolite platinums. And i also wired up the 700r4 tcc lockup switch. I just wired it to an aircraft type 1-way switch for simplicity. it works great, its like having an extra gear.

I went through all my wiring diagrams and brainstormed to figure the lift out, dad came over, we meddled with the micro switches, adjusting their timing, figured it was solved, but thought it best to get it looked at, the shop said, bad circuit panel, not seen it since, as they are looking for one. My mid Ford is my daily driver, I have been adjusting the choke, finally got it to the point where it will disengage, may need a manual one next winter, not sure I didn't mess it up, but every Friday it goes to the classic cruise in. Tomorrow I hope to wire brush the passenger floor, and sand it for rust conversion, then bedliner paint, do the drivers side later, gotta see that I don't have to buy another can to roll it on thick. I need to clean up the front, shoot paint on the firewall one day so it looks cleaner, I just mounted a polished stainless steel radiator overflow tank the other night. I need to get some photos to upload. | | |
