Re: Betty #2

I was flipping through channels the other day and saw an old pickup cab being de-seemed with lead. Apparently the modern compounds are less dangerous than of old, and I watched them heat it and smooth it with a leather tool dipped in wax. So it's still in use, in restoration/hot rod work anyway.

Oh and on the bumper! I can't believe you drilled it already, but the lights look good.

Ron, the van looks great. I am jealous of the new bumper, lucky! What did you pay for shipping on the bumper from Aluminess if you don't mind we asking?

Re: Betty #2

That van looks familiar, but I can't place where I've seen it before.

1993? But it has late model mirrors and grill?

Re: Betty #2

So what happened to the roof rack? Or is that were the bodies were kept?
