Welcome Mark. I will be holding some classes on May 17-18 2019 if you are interested. This is after our annual metalshapers gathering in late April. the first event is full now but classes still have room. The classes are first day basic hand tools shaping andsecond day more advanced shaping and metal finishing. If interested message me or call 269-948-9474 for more info.

Welcome to the forum, Mark.

With a tear in my eye, I recently sold my 88 Astro work van that I had owned for nearly 20 yrs. it was one of my favorite vehicles that I have ever owned. Another member here is also a similar-era Astro fan. I'll be interested in your project.

How many windows does your van have?

Thanks for the welcome guys!
The van is a window van. Beige Betty.
Here is a before pic. 4 cyl., automatic and A/C. Came out of Arizona.

A photo shop I did to get the look.

Very cool...

Replacing the 4.3 v6 in mine practically required a magic wand and lots of (four letter) magic words. After that, Playing the spark plug game was no less enchanting. A bbc will be a squeeze, to say the least.
