A detail, which got lost sometimes between 1998 and 2000 was a roof-rack with clearance-lights, antennas, horns und trucker-figures. Planned since a long time, today I started to build up this roof-rack, but with my personal touch. I used small torpedo style clearance lights, and instead the trucker-figures I plan to install a Death Proof Duck, which will sit above the center clearance light. Horns and antennas still need to be bought, and at the moment everything is only temporary installed, since I plan to let the roof-rack paint the same colour as the roof.

The reason, why the lights are installed on a roofcarrier is, that clearnce lights in orange are not allowed in germany. And lights without a european proof-sign (E with a number) are also not allowed. With a roof-rack I can cover the hole for the duannual technical-check-up to prevent problems.

I'm not sure, what they will say.
But I'm driving it not as a daily-driver, only during summertime and to events.
At the moment, all except the stearing-wheel and the front signallights with additonal markerlights (like in the US). But until now, no problems.
And many truckers have clearance lights to, so it's not unusual on the roads / interstates over here, but the duannual technical check-up got new guidelines some years ago regarding additional lights.

And thank you for the nice comment.

Found an original fiberglass hood on ebay and received it on Friday. Had to fab up a latch bracket to make it work on my 89 as it was made for 71-77s I think. Had some issues as its an old hood but after some glass work and 3M panel bond its on the van and looking good !!! Love it !
I'm going in to the shop this morning to balance my motor and start assembling it.
A .030 over 350, scat crank ,speed pro, ported vortec heads and mild hydraulic roller. I want it to pull strong from idle to 4500. I could care lees about higher RPMS as its my daily driver and want to use it for pulling my trailer to the track once in a while. Paint very soon too !![Linked Image]

I'm dying to snag a scoop hood like that for mine. I was actually watching that one on eBay. Think it was called a "boogie van hood." I have too many other little bugs to work out on my van first though before I dive to heavily into the cosmetic stuff. Sweet score and a bitchin' ride.

Had the rear transmission mount replaced and new fill tube gasket. Hope I'm done with leaks.
