Here waitting on Sandy The perfect storm on the east coast, it's only windy and rainning off and on can't wait when the storm is over so I can continue working on the E150 trying to get the van winter ready. I receive my exhaust pipe and mufler need to weld it in as soon I get a clear sunny day to install it. I am going to buy some wood 4x8 sheet panel for the interior walls and wall to wall carpet.

It's all coming slowly together one section at a time. I hope I can get all my work on the van done before the winter snow hit the ground, so much to get done but I will get it done...

Well today I got up early because a storm call (sandy) is going to hit my area, so I have to perpaired any un-prime steel with primer and plus I got a Chance to prep  and clean the cab's floor apply some primer and then some few coast of glossy black paint to finish up the interior before I lay down a new carpet. I finish up the weld on the lower door panel and primed it for now untill the storm pass.

 Back at it again, this time like always it's the RUST the big problem for this old ford van of mines. The lower part of the front driver side door panel needed some rust repair work, I have to redo a 9 year old repair that I did back then when I first brought tha van in 2003, now it's 2012 and it;s time to make the repair  right with the right tools that I have this time around. It's becoming real fun to work out the rusted out bad section right out of my van.

The homemade rocker and drop back panel are welded in place, with a little bondo filler and it will look great. This part was kinda hard to fabricate with out the right tools but I did it and it look factory. Now it's time to get to the lower door skin repair, that is the next job on my to do list....it's a now stop action.

  

 

Here is the handmade rocker panel that I fabricated I'll install the rocker panel in a few day cuase I am still working on other section of the body that are not done yet.

  

 I have been bizzy working on these section lot more work needed to be done like the driver's front rocker panel which I handmade and fabricated the drop back panel as well.

 Old repair when I first got the van back in 2003 I cover up the rust with bondo this time around I'm cutting the rust out and replace it with new sheet metal and going to do the job right this time.

Just got back from new york city and luisiana. so I started working on the area that I was working on before.

Working on the rear quarter panel rust area and crafted a new patch and welded it in place.  once all the rust is remove I'll bondo and start molding in the bondo to the body.

 the front  floor on the right side is done for now until I paint the whole cab. so I started on the rear quarter panel  that was rusted out. I have to fabricate a new patch for this section.

 Well today is the first time working on the front right side floor repair since I got back from New York City it's been a while and was great to get to work on my van project and now it's moving a long I'm almost done with the front Cab and about to start on a new section on the van I am very happy with the work I have done so far. I am welding better and I can till from when I first started this project I am fabricating is improving for the better and it's going to be great and fun time Me and the Van....
