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.....

Sounds like you're going to have one heck of a busy winter. Keep us posted. I'll just be happy to break away from the home renovation long enough to start my engine swap finally.

This van needs a T56 and an LS swap! Can’t wait to see the progress you make this winter on your list

Thanks for updating us all, love your show!

My favorite Boss, Art McFaul said "Setting Tile is the art of trying to achieve perfection, with an imperfect product." In production, It took a while to learn to walk away when it was "good enough."

I sure don't see any "imperfection, good enough, or walk away," in any of your work, Sir.
cheers

LS will happen if this 305 ever actually dies, which it shows no signs of doing unfortunately lol.. The T56 is out just due to the size. Due to the position of things, it really needs to have a side mounted shifter linkage. Tail housing shifters put the stick way too far back.. I could run a traditional Muncie, but I want to keep my overdrive. I am looking at a transmission from Passion Performance who make an A-833 overdrive 4 speed that is beefed up to handle power, and also has a better 1st gear ratio which would help getting out of the hole with a trailer. It's all just money though.. I may rebuild the existing trans depending on what I find inside. It is starting to get kind of whiny..
