Sweet van. Keep the pictures coming of the restoration!!

Very cool,Can't wait to watch this come back to life

C1.....we are going to replace the roof braces, when the van was built they cut the front ones out to make room for the giant sunroof and didn't do any reinforcement, just left the cut pieces hanging in the wind. The weight of the sunroof combined with the weight of all the body filler caused the roof to sag in the middle. Once we replace all the roof supports and get a nice roof line back we will lay and fit the donor roof skin. I will send pics of this process as we go. Also, the origional owner has some really cool old van patches, pins, and trophys from back then. So there will be many pictures taken for you guys

Wow this van has gotten around a bit over the last few years.
From the mid west to the pacific north west.Back to the mid west again.....
