Jim, the only sketch is in my miniature mind. Since there's no "due date", I spend a lot of time looking it over and thinking about the best way to do this. The plan has changed several times already as I think of a better way. This would be moving faster if I didn't have to repair the darn thing before the "El Camino" stuff can begin...

I agree with you Gary...is that a good thing? :-k

It is a little bit of a pain to open the PB account each time and sort through the pics to get an idea of the progress. I am glad there are pics though. Can't wait to see more progress.

Very ambitious project. A bit more than I would attempt. Looking good so far.

Still making small gains. Should get the inner bed sides bent up and lazer cut to fit tomorrow or the next day @ A&A Sheet Metal Janesville, Wi. Spent better part of two days just getting the rear air & heat removed from this thing. Had to cut the A/C & Heat hard tubing all over the place to get them off without having to take the whole van apart. Cut the rear air tubes away from the front air and Tig welded the front system back together.
