Finally made it all the way around; now just the doors, hood, some edges and the roof too sand. I had cut out a panel in the rear that needs replaced; I'm going to work on that tomorrow. Also painted the footwells and sliding door tracks with POR-15. My son came by and started cleaning up the motor but we ended up taking a break to do some pickin. Back on it tomorrow; 1 more day off before it's back to work.

Great progress on the van, Falcon! A bit of time jammin' with your son has to be a blast, too!
I did one of them weekends where you do a little bit of work on 3 different projects and don't really accomplish anything!:LOL: Started skinning the frame I built for the racerback fairing for my pickup, Greg came out to the shop Saturday so he did some OJT on the braces for the tailgate--hammerformed out of 20 ga. The rest of the time I spent reworking some of the alleged body man's screw-ups on the Plymouth! Got the hood sidepanels fitting a lot better now, should finish them up tomorrow and get started refitting and reshaping the hood top. Takes a lot longer to redo then to do!!!!!
Friend of mine stopped by this afternoon, got a lead from him on a guy who has a set of the old style small tube Hillborn injectors for a small block Ford!!!! Just what I want for the Bronco II should I ever be able to get back in my own garage and work on my stuff!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:

It was nice to have my son over; he's had a rough year and is trying to work out some issues. Wish I could be more help but some things he needs to get through on his own to understand the lesson. But it was good to have a few hours together.
Dave, a Hillborn injection would look really cool on the Bronco! I'm axious to see how the Bronco develops; it was looking pretty good last time you put up pictures of it.
I finished up building a new rear panel for the roof and got it welded in; also set the motor in place to start figuring out mounts. It looks like the headers are going to fit so I'm happy with that.

Lots of room for lots of engine! Should work out great, Falcon!

Yeah, I think so. Looks like I may have to notch the frame for the drivers side header after all but no big deal. I stuck the old front end on just to see what my forward clearance is going to be. Here's the last of them for today; I'm ready for a break for a few days. Sorry if I've been monopolizing the thread, guys. I'm a little addicted to the picture/progress posting.

Hi guys, it's been a year but I can see that everyone has been busy. I had a little stroke but now I'm functioning 100% again. Sure is good to be here, still have my 48 but she hasn't been touched in a year so I'm ready to get her on her feet. It's just too friggin cold here right now.
Leave it to you Falcon to come up with an interesting project!
