I forgot to post this before, but about a month ago we went to a small car show in my hometown. We dodged rain all day, but the van was well received and we got a plaque!
Now it's build season again! Guess I'd better get to work!
Here's the to-to list for this winter:
-Cut and re-weld the swivel pedestals 1.5" lower
-Make custom door panels
-Make custom wall panels
-Build and install functional mini-bar
-Other misc upholstery work
-Finish all wiring
-Finish installing security system and stereo
-Possibly have transmission rebuilt, new clutch
-Replace u-joints and carrier bearing
-Diff fluid (fill plug is stripped)
-etc.....
