Haven't worked on the van in a long while. Got to work on cleaning the garage yesterday and today some in preparation for finishing the engine swap. When we found out school was canceled for two weeks at least due to this stupid virus, the first thing out of my youngest daughter's mouth was "We should put the motor in the van while we're out". I think we have the makings of another vanner in the family, which is funny because she didn't care for them up until recently, she's always been a Harley girl. So she knocked the spray paint out on the water pump while we've been cleaning. Hopefully we'll get a chance to finish up the swap in the next few days.
Lucky dog.....my kids are 28 and 30, my son would say I broke my van when are you going to fix it..not much in father and son bonding.
I am, and I try to soak up every minute as humanly possible. They grow so fast.

No clue, but nothing is going back to factory resto on this one, just a fun cruiser, and I prefer Chevy orange.

I thought about painting this one something custom, but this 305 will eventually get sold when we get the 350 rebuilt. Might paint that one a different color.
The girls really knocked it out of the park this morning. We got some laundry done, cleaned up a huge pile of trash from the back porch roofing work, then knocked out the engine install. Got it bolted in place and ready to start re-installing all the small stuff. Hopefully we can start on that tomorrow morning.
