Hey all!!
Just thought I'd start a new thread for my '68 Mini Van...

First off here he is...




more pics when he arrives tomorrow

But hes VERY original - even have the original seats!!!

Updates I'm going to do is bigger engine - will be updating as I build - with a Rob Walker 286 scatter cam'd 1380
Also going to swap the wheels to my Matt black KN Murcary's


Few more tweaks on the inside;
Cobra Classic Buckets
Momo Steering wheel
Some proper gauges - Oil Pressure, Water temp, VAC, and rev counter
and a 3000w ICE install...


I'll be updating this thread as I build the engine - already started some from the other project - but there we go...

Don't you dare! The point of a van is to put stuff it the back, not fill it with speakers

[Dog]

I am not FILLING it, thats 2 small subs and some decent from speakers....
