    well he is wanting to go authentic as possible yet still be able to ride in comfort. He is still deciding on what he wants to do with the interior but that will come much later!!

    well we are still waiting on the RR ...shipping the car seems to be a bigger pain in the ass then we thought @.@ But the other shop car is fixing to get sand blasted to see how much metal we have to work with. The body is off and ready so we should know next week.

    I thought you meant a 302 in the Econoline at first lol. Are you going to mount the motor behind the cabin?

    not sure yet...we are just in the beginning stages of the thing so we are not sure what we want to do with it yet. Our goal with the Econoline is just simple and clean looking but with a little something extra to make it stand out. No i don't mean anything stupidly crazy lol...just add something that makes it our own.

    well he has all the little extra bits that go on the car so he is not going to have to invest alot of money on that side...though the work that needs to be done to the body it self and paint and yada yada yada...yes it is adding up. But i think it will be well worth it in the end!! I wish i had one to restore!!
