Looks good Jason, no doubt you will get it out before the snow flies......then expect to see you and the van at some events next year.

Thanks!
The goal is to drive this to Belle Isle for MIVEs 12th (?) ChiliFest this weekend!
Just dropped the wheels off to my buddy at Belle Tire in Rossford.
I'm thinking of throwing some color on it, just a quick and dirty spray to keep the rust away from the good metal. We'll see how I feel about it Saturday

I like the BF Goodrich Radial TA look.
It reminds me of a super nice guy that once used to frequent LeakOil events that had a yellow DC.

What ply rating are those tires? Those look really sharp on the black wheels. I love my Generals.
Re: What the heck did I get myself into??? 1971 Weekender!
they are load range D and 8 ply I believe.
thanks, I was contemplating silver or black wheels. I thought black with white lettering and the center caps would be great looking. I love it
I noticed today that the driver side rear sits quite a bit lower than the Pass side, which I think may be the reason for my front being low. I'm going to lift up the rear a bit any way, now I'll need to level it too!!

Holy Crap, those seats were filthy!
I used the little green machine to remove the grime.
Tail lights are finally here, these will replace the mismatched, cracked and faded units in there now.

Front indicator lenses before:
And after:
I really need to clean up the reflectors, they have been covered with primer
And installed tail lights, what a PITA
