Names Kevin. I picked up a '63 Corvan a little while ago. Right before the snow, so now Ive got it sitting in the garage doing a few things to it while I cant drive it. Its burning me up I havent had a fun vehicle in almost 5 years to drive and now I get one and its winter. lol.
Its a runner, still needs to be gone through and cleaned/tightened up.
Here it is when I went to look at it.
I picked up some Pontiac caps for it, here it is sitting in the snow after being kicked out of the garage buy a p.o.s. Astro van that was good at eating parts.
I have some Chrome bullets ordered (back ordered) to mount to the pontiac caps.
Ive also "unshaven" the shaved dash. Had to weld up 53 5/32 holes in the dash to get it done, not fun especialy on places like the glove box opening lip.
Before
during
almost done, the ashtray is now in since this pic, and I am in process of sanding the steering wheel (what a pain). All this just to get a glove box back, well and a stock dash, which I like way better.
I still have a laundry list of things to source and and parts I already have to replace also. Next up is either the mechanism on the back doors, or the boomerang. The boomerang doesnt look fun, but it needs to be done badly.
Thanks for looking, Kevin

Kevin, I like it. Nice looking van. Especially after the caps and the dash. I'm sure once you get your laundry list done it's going to be much better still. Keep the pics coming.
