How lucky are you. Does your neighbor have a friend with a 1971-1975 Shorty in his carport ?

I was really looking for a shorty but this one came up a few miles from my house and the price was right.

This was the same situation for me too. I honestly think your project benefits from being a long body. You’ve got a radical short van but I think the style and body work you’re planning, the lwb suits the proportions.

Got the new single door (rust free junk yard find off a 99) hung today to replace my barn doors that were pretty rusty. I then sliced the sides to lean it in and then tacked it in the correct position. Next step is to gull wing it and remove the other hinges. I also plan on filling in the window but I have something planned for where the original window is (planned in my head anyhow)!

I'm loving this build more and more each time I check in. This thing is so wild. Anxious to see how the door comes out, and what you have planned for the window.

Yeah, this is awesome. You’re making a lot of progress on it.


You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave
