Just dropping in to say HI.My name is Gary and I have two projects.One is a 1985 Hi Top Astro which is getting a 3" body lift,conversion to a no window cargo,5.7 V8 TBI engine,and rust repair.It's nick name is "Ole Yellar".
![]() The other one is a vendor trailer that needs the interior completed with skinning the inside of the belly,walls constructed,and flip center flooring for storage of back up stock to be stack on. ![]() Once metal work is done,it will be painted the same color as the van is going to be painted. ![]() I will follow up with threads posted in appropriate sections.I come from a backround as a Admin from a site that uses VBulletin and am familiar with how it works.I have now since left that position.I am 62yrs young and have been involved in Drag racing/hot rods since I was 14yrs old. I have done some metal shaping in the past during doing a back haft on a Monza town coup with a Sub & Tub kit and I needed to replace a rusted floor pan.I want to improve my skill set in metal working to have Pro looking end product on my two projects. Thanks for having me, Gary |

Gary, welcome, glad to have you as a new member. It is nice to see some of the "younger" folks join up. I started drag racing in the late 50's and still enjoy watching it today. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome to the boards. I like those old Astro Vans. Some fender flares and wide tires make them look cool. That thing should really go with a 5.7!
