sounds like quite the rig. hopefully mine will be up and running soon. Got a little side tracket with my work truck loosing a motor. got to fix the stuff that brings in the money first.
Your 4WD van is really cool, good luck with the build! If you need any help, suggestions, or tips along the way give me a shout.

That's awesome. Our son just bought a 1977 Econoline, school bus yellow with root beer accents, complete with shag carpet everywhere, wood cabinets, bed, sink, ice box and a map of Middle Earth on the cabinet door. He's going to start living in it at the end of the month. He'd love yours!

Well did a final tune last night, set the timing, tuned the carb. Just got to check the choke for cold start. I'm very happy with how well it runs. I should have the tires and rims back today from being mounted and ballenced. Plates should be here tomorrow, then I can do a few runs down the road/hiway and see how she does. Hope to run up through VT to Lake George with her in a few weeks.
