mural: you on a hog, with flames, no shirt, lookin like conan..

freetard vehicle graveyard on the back.

Conan.. totally a great name for this beast
Ironically the freetards kindly removed a Mustang carcass from my place last month, so I've got room to park this thing

Not sure about a 460 though , the 302 barely fits between seats

well the Freetards came over today, drank some beer, got the shifter functioning nicely.. gave the engine a once over, adjusted this and that, then said something about being back next weekend with a box of goodies to swap for beer, …then disappeared

I just took it out, pressed the fun pedal and it lit up a 30 foot strip in front of my house .. then tore up the neighborhood for a bit.. I'm gonna like it but I better get some seat belts in it

Hey John,

Every so often I see one of those sitting in someones yard or field. Want me to keep an eye open for parts (ie. bumpers)?

Awesome please do. Biggest need right now is a windshield, theres a stone chip in this one which means we cant run it at Mission
Parts needs will pop up for sure, and if you see them i can get them down here easily

Thx

For a windshield, check with Nordel Glass. I've had a few automotive glass jobs done by him and have been happy every time.

Got Flotech headers and a Mustang cobra exhaust for it = Nice and loud
Found some vintage slotted mags with 50 series Radial T/A's and refinished them …and cut the roof to complete the look
Its going into my buddies auto upholstery shop this week to get a custom snap on tonneau cover installed ..

Think its gonna look alright

Looks even better with the new wheels.

i bet this van has put out 100 times less pollution then a Prius. its 40 years old, how many sets of batteries is a hybrid going to go thru in 40 years. most new cars dont even last 10 years.

All good, but Yer welcome to suck on one of tail pipes if you'd like to reduce its emissions a bit :)

You could help save the environment and test out some new chapstick..Win Win
