Way to go man. Holes in a roof of a van are nothing but trouble.

Because of Winter coming, availability of paint booth & I don't need the Van till Spring the plan is to get main body shell in BC/CC Black now. The doors and hood will be filtered in threw Winter with other work. Plans are to pull 6 cyl. & 3 speed in exchange for a SBC and 700R, narrow an 8"or 9" Ford rear. with tubs to accommodate 10" Cragars on the back inside the wheel well.. So much easier to pull motor/trans and repair floor without doors in the way! Haven't decided what I will do with front suspension yet....................................
