Hey Tom,
It's good to see you back on track, although it sounds like you have been busy enough. I have been doing the "shop makeover" thing for a few months now and am just starting to think about getting back on the van project.
I picked up a new Tig welder a month or so ago so I will be rebuilding the front cradle for the van as soon as I finish up the airline installation in the shop.
I'd like to see some pics of the El Camino.
