Now the only thing left is the taillights and the rollpan,which I will do soon I hope.All doors,the gas filler,the sliding track and the liscence plate are all shaved now,Tomorrow me and my buddy are gonna build a driveshaft tunnel so when the van lays out it doesnt get binded up on the floor.Gonna buy a tubing bender hopefully in the am

A welder,plasma and about every common tool help alot.No one taught me very much ,just alot of advice and reading.My buddy told me how to do bodywork basics,plus I read.Another guy showed me how to start welding,then I went form there.I'll tell you from my experience that its way better to do stuff youreself than it is to pay someone to do so.Once you have some major tools(sawzall,welder,plasma/torch,air compressor etc) you can do alot of things.The next tool I want is a tubing bender,a good one,not the pice of junk I bought today for 200 bucks.
