. . . . I'm wishing I would have uploaded the larger versions of those last two pics. . . . . re-reading my original post . . . I had forgotten about the Pop-Up vent that the original owners had installed . . .which I had to remove for the van to fit inside the garage. . . . ashamedly, I used what I had handy at the time; Plexiglass, Pop Rivets and black Silicone . . . nobody ever looks up there, and it's never leaked, I've thought about re-doing it 'the right way', but just, never have, so, O'l Flicka ain't no 'Cruise Night' candidate, she's got some dents, dings and blemishes and a little rust on here underside and a couple of small 'bubbles' in a few, spots beneath the paint. . . . I replaced the front shocks, the rear shocks with air shocks, ball joints and steering components, fuel pump and filter (a couple of times), power steering pump, rear brake cylinders, front brake calipers and brake lines/hoses, heater core, the Sears Die Hard a couple of times . . . . she's had a couple of 'brake jobs' . . . around 2000 I had the heads freshened, headers installed, a more fuel efficient cam was installed, cam chain and gears, water pump, they musta' re-built the carb, too, I'd think. . . . the a/c was updated to the 'legal' refrigerant . . . and she just, got new, 'shoes' just, a year a go . . . . Gee! I think I've covered it all. .. Sorry, if I bored anyone who dared to attempt to read all of this!! . . . I guess I just, wanted to express how she has been maintained over the years. I imagine it is pretty, obvious how much I love my "Flicka". I do want to upload a couple more pics; in the near, future.
It's been a year since I have been here, I still, have a passion for my, 'this ain't no show van', '85 G20 Chevy Van, (and have interest in others' passion for Vans). I'm dependent on "Flicka" for transporting my Flat Track motorcycles, which is mostly, exclusively, what she is used for. She don't see any snow or salt in the winter months; she doesn't need anymore assault to her old, 'underside'. ... I just wanted to add a few fairly, recent, photos of "Flicka" at work.
Just love to see those old vans in a racing environment . I am not too far behind you in age, and play with a 69 Vette in historic racing and will race until I become a mobile chicane !
