Heck yeah, glad you got that mess all sorted. Wiring is not much fun.

No kidding. ^

After 3 or 4 janky distributors, I quit screwing around and got a nice one that wasn't too much coin and what a difference that made. But right after getting it all installed today, the engine wasn't getting enough gas to turn over.....whaaaaaat theeee hellllllll. We found the fuel line near the gas tank was totally pinched at a right angle, I don't know how the thing even ran before this.

This van has been a total sh*t show getting up to this point, hopefully tomorrow we can get it actually running. And go for a DRIVE.

The van is almost stripped down, the goal is to get it all down to metal this week. A lot of fiberglass filler and we are finally getting to the spots where the metal was bad and repaired. The hood has two huge filled spots of fiberglass. I’m not surprised at this because these hoods are notorious for rotting from the inside out.

I took some time out to run the Mustang for the first time this winter. It needs some more attention, maybe once the van is done.

Keep On Truck n Charlie. Can't wait to see the paint and nice Mustang Sir= 1965 ? My First car was a 1965 with a 289 and 4 barrell/stock and same color w/black interior. My neighbor backed out of her driveway in an older Lincoln and totaled it !

Mustang looks good Charlie. Glad you're getting the van stripped, can't wait to see how the paint turns out.

I missed that you got your distributor issues sorted Cornfarmer, awesome news. Hope you get her dialed in this week.
