It's been a long process so far. All the body work is finished, and I'll see the color for the first time. Well, I did see a color chip about 1 inch square. The door jambs and other internal type things that require paint are supposed to be done Wednesday. The rusty gutter/roof area over the right rear door was cut out and new metal welded in. I can't wait to see it. I'll be taking some pictures to share with everyone too.

I really like your interior. Is that carpet on the wall?

It didn't come home today. There's still some touch up left plus it snowed here today. We're looking at tomorrow now.

What are you gonna name her ? HOT CHOCOLATE ? There is no name as of yet but Hot Chocolate is pretty cool. The color is Sedona Bronze which is in the orange family. It has some gold tones to it as well when in the sunlight. So I'll have to see the van outside on a sunny day. All I've seen outside so far is a small sample paint chip.

Of course it freezing cold and snowing now so I haven't been able to do anything with it yet. It's tucked away in a storage garage for now, but there isn't any heat there. However I did make the mistake of tallying up all of the money I've spent on the van. More than $6100 on my $700 van. I still need new tires, door seals, and window channels for it. Oh well, it's only money right...

The gutters/rain troughs are rusting pretty bad now, and in places there was previously. The rust that was there before was supposedly repaired when the bodywork was done and the van painted. It has been parked in a carport with 3 solid walls up until the past few months so hasn't been exposed to rain, snow or salt. I think the "sealer" used on the gutters is reacting with the metal or the old sealer. All of the old sealer wasn't removed and the new stuff went right over it, and it is now separating from the van as well.
Has anyone ever had a roof cut off and replaced? If so around how much is the cost I'm looking at? I don't have the place, equipment or expertise to do something like this myself, so a body shop of some sort would be in order.
On the bright side, I took the van to a local dual car show here last month. One side for all original antiques, and one side for customized or non-antiques. The van earned a top 25 trophy after participant voting in the customized or non-antiques side. Yes there were more than 25 vehicles, LOL, probably around 80 to 100 and more on the original antique side. A few days later the heater core puked up in the driveway. I guess all the excitement was just too much...
