Its turning out really nice, paint looks great

Finished all the wiring today and thankfully everything works. Hope to make some serious progress this weekend.

It's almost ironic:

Such a huge effort and most people will only see an old van with fresh paint.

They will have no clue.

From where I'm settin', you've been making serious progress for weeks! Congrats on all the effort too, it's coming together and all the hard work shows to those that know what to look for

Thanks, I was hoping to be done earlier in spring but it's getting pretty close.

I love that shade of blue. That screams "Hot Rod" to me.

Yeah thought I thought it was too blue at first but it grew on me. Good weekend; got the carb rebuilt and running better, put on the back brakes, shocks, cleaned and lubed all the e-brake parts, ran about 1/2 the brake lines and got the wheels and tires on.

Looks great!

That is just too neat!!!

Thanks! I’m ready to stop working and start driving!

It just pops with those steelies and caps IMO! Great work!

Got lots of details wrapped up lately. Got the wiring al tidied up, under dash stuff finished, brakes finished and bled, front door latch hardware cleaned up and installed, and the driver seat in. Lots of other stuff too but that’s the highlights. Just about down to putting in the glass, painting the grill and bumpers, and doing a test drive.

I meant to ask if your van is still running an ammeter? If so how did you deal with it? When I had a 75 Duster I replaced the one in it with a voltmeter that almost looked factory.

I bypassed it; probably need to add a voltmeter so I know what’s going on.

Probably wouldn't hurt.
