Then I stopped for a beer or five ;). All set for Mountaineer's Cruise on the weekend and then Remember Butler...

I will be moving for the next few weeks. And I'm real anxious.
I just got my '16 Express 3500 15 passenger just after Independence Day. After obtaining it, I started gathering items to personalize it. Stereo system. Running boards. Cool back up camera (still waiting for delivery). But then the moving happened. Not mine at first, but my daughter bought her first home. Then my move started this week. The kicker is that my first camp trip in this van is coming up in October, and I need to have my bed built by then.
Einstein, when describing radio said "Wire telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull his tail in NY and he meows in LA. And radio works the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

I've already told you about the brake calipers that were seized up from lack of use, and I found that one of the heater wire mounts was broken so I fabricated and fixed that and my dad and I have replaced the steering gear box which was leaking... this is definitely going to be a marathon not a sprint but that's the joys of owning an older vehicle...not just the customization but the general repair... I have plenty to go before I can seriously begin to think about customizing the interior or exterior and I would like to add a wedge chop on to that list before any of the other customization gets done so to say the least this is going to be a long project that I will share with you all along the way...
