Robert, wondering what you think about an off white top color to the wagon? I used the Chrysler cool vanilla PWG on the van. For some reason I really like that color on 50’s and 60’s cars. Not saying I don’t like the colors you have, I think they look great but think the off white and green...

Finally laid down some color. Most everything else is ready for paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys! Can’t wait for this one to be done. Hopefully one day I’ll learn to just work on my own projects but likely won’t be anytime soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Few more pictures of extending the cab. Practice piece Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some pictures of the Mack. Sitting on 2006 Dodge frame with a 12V Cummins. Going to be painted bright yellow. I painted the bed for it about a year and a half ago. Stretched the cab 6” and a handful of other stupid ****. Just finished the 1st round of priming and sanding...

Recently took a metal shaping class from Wray Schelin. I went to the class with high expectations and they were significantly surpass. Had a great time, met some cool dudes and learned a bunch. The class is 130 hrs of shop time (4 day coachbuilding/shaping class, 3 day advanced...

I wouldn’t have guessed 4000 pounds. That’s crazy. Looks like it is in great condition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone for following along and the comments. Few more cool shots of the wrecker from Sunday night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As usual, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. So far I have put a little over 600 problem free miles on the van. It’s been a lot of fun this summer. About a month ago I bought back my grandpa/dad’s old wrecker that was sold unexpectedly after my dad passed away. Got it running good...

Thanks I really appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Adding A/C to a Corvair is doable. Has its own unique challenges but probably not any harder than most vehicles. Thanks. Don’t worry there is still hope for you [emoji12]. I don’t have to look back too far to a time this wasn’t my style. That is the great thing about this hobby. Style...

Sometimes the lighting is just right. Looked out the front window of the house and the roof was beaming. Suckered me in to taking more pictures. Crazy how it can go from dead to beaming with a slight lighting change. The dark color on the sides does the same and is what I like the most but...

The consensus out there is the salt was the best it’s been in close to a decade. Lots of new records to prove it (including the worlds fastest piston powered). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Broke the van in at the Bonneville Salt Flats for Speed Week. After the first day of racing we drove into Wendover for a car show at the Casino with a pile of other salty rods. First time getting the van on the interstate. It did great. Think we’re gonna have a lot of fun with this...

Another less popular bike I picked up the day after I got the CT70 is a 1973 Suzuki RV90. I guess they are very popular in Japan. They call them van vans. It actually would be a much better bike to ride around town than a CT70. They are two strokes. Bought it from the original owner for a great...

Very cool. I would like to find another one. We have put almost 150 miles on this one since we got it. Mostly around the neighborhood but we did take it camping last weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the van out for the first time yesterday. Went to the Salt Flat Speed Shop open house. It was over 100 degrees out. Made it there and back with no issues. Have some plans for this weekend. Should have some good pictures to post early next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Installed bumpers and all weatherstripping. Steering wheel in place but not cinched down yet. Decided to keep the goofy chrome turn signal switch that came with the van. Originally wasn’t going to but it has grown on me and I think it fits the goofy van. Sent from my iPhone using...

Ha. I think that’s an outside looking in illusion. This project has been harder to find time to work on compared to previous projects and I have had to redo a lot more than typical so my efficiency has sucked. I thought I would have this done months ago. Thanks, I have some carpet that I...

Don, hate to hear that you are having to tear down and redo but I have no doubt it will come out even nicer than the first time around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
