because i do not have enough projects - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

so i had that 66 van that i wanted to build and i completed it and the wife hated it and i wasnt too thrilled with it either.. My wife hated the fact that she was sitting over the wheels and was scared she would get killed in a frontal impact, and i wasnt thrilled because well i always felt like a cooking pizza in the summer with the heat it generated.... so I finally sold it then come those nights where my stepson and i are going back and forth on facebook marketplace pointing out various things we could drag home and fix up and maybe flip..
so after a week or so of the latest round this thing followed me home
plans are to complete the body work and paint the side then drive it this summer.. if i wind up really liking it, ill do a more complete resto on it next year
