edit: got to distracted to post the pics of the rotted out side i took not that its a big deal to look at rust its common up here lol. Also took a small road trip picked up a mint 90 or 93 bench seat guy wasnt sure what van it was from sadly i didnt take pics of it i will later. But the seat is getting ripped apart needed a good seat frame as the rear seat frame was bent near the top. going to try to reuse my original material on it.

this is the new old seat i purchased to repair this seat
[Linked Image]
been playing around with paint and colors trying to settle on something for the main body of the van, this is silver metal flake with candy red on top its my air cleaner, just the snout failed miserably on the lid and body of the air cleaner, but ill see if it looks better after clear and polish. Like everything else practice makes perfect, and if i'm going to attempt this van ill need a lot of practice.

I had some spare time this week got the radiator, thermostat, water pump swapped out. replaced all the cooling system hoses. I used a radiator from a c series pick up that someone left behind that has been laying in my shop for a year. I assume the guy isn't coming back. Issue i'm having which i clearly fail at measure twice cut once mentality sometimes, the width of the radiators was the same, top to bottom the c series radiator is taller, it fits but interferes with the air intake.

this is a zoomed in section you can see the over hang over the top of the core support, but the hood closes no issues

painted the timing cover, quickly in the van of course.... being lazy

only had white engine enamel on the shelf, after 9pm i wasnt going to stores to try to find silver or black

using this set up to reduce drag on the serpentine system, and i'm hoping the larger radiator with electric fans will be enough to cool the bay, and hopefully it'll help with fuel economy. Obviously power is not something to expect out of a 305
also painted the bow tie for the grill i don't have. Does anyone know if the C/K pick up truck grills are the same as the van i've been having trouble locating a replacement grill

Dropped the bowtie off at my pinstripe guy to add the black border, i'm still trying to learn how to paint metal flake and paint in general, as it seems the only way this van will see paint or body stuff is if i can do it myself. unfortunately i cant afford to have it done professionally.
sorry about the tons of pics, i just assume everyone is like me and enjoys seeing photos.
