And all over and done in nine months!
It looks an entirely different vehicle from that which you started with.
Bloody gorgeous; it's a credit to you.

Thanks! Now time for a break from the garage and focus on mama's honey do list. She's been pretty patient......;)
I agree with JB. Nicely done and quickly too.
Now you need to play this on cruise night

Nothing left to do now except the shag carpet and tinted windows!!!!!
Now it is at a decent start point for a big muscle sleeper!
Kidding - kind of.
Super clean stock ride. Well done.
Now, grab that honey-do list!
It turned out very nice! Done in 9 months, how do you do it? :LOL:
Thanks! It’s already a big muscle sleeper, that whopping 90hp is pretty scary!
Decided to wrap up a few issues with the van before I pull the trans back out of the 48. It’s still sitting too high in the back so I pulled the leaf springs and am sending the back to the shop to de-arch them a bit more. Also pulled the speedometer for repair, and am also going to make a headliner for the front. After trying to get the rebuilt carb right, I went ahead and bought a new one; runs MUCH better.
lol, I used to get projects done in 9 months, now they all seem to "age" a few years before I get motivated on them! Sometimes it seems that most of my get up and go just got up and left! Oh yeah, if you see my memory laying around someplace could you please pick it up and send it back to me, I seem to have misplaced it!
I hear you, Dave. Just a few years ago I’d be out in the garage at 5:30am every Saturday and stay out there until dinner time. Now it’s more like 8 or 9 and done by 3.
Much better, took 2” of arc out of the springs and the radical rake is gone. Now I don’t feel like I’m always going downhill.
But, if you were driving downhill before, you would have got better fuel mileage! Looks much better level!
It looks nice but still needs those windows darker. :LOL:

Nah, kinda decided from the beginning this would stay a stocker. If I did the windows then i’d need different wheels, then I’d need x, they y, then z, etc, etc.😉
