AmboVan Restarted

[ujoint]

Chris, does this mean the gasoline tanks don't have a galvanic coating that breaks down with diesel? If that's true, this greatly broadens my sources for getting a spare tank to play around with.

That..... I'm not 100% sure of.

I guess the burning question is: What color are you gonna paint AmboVan? Or, did I miss that somewhere?

Plain-jane factory Ford white. Booor-ing. Cooler in the AZ heat, no need to paint the door jambs, hood, etc. Accent striping to be determined later. Maybe once it's all painted, I will post a side view and we can have a photoshop stripe design contest.

Nothing wrong with plain white at all. Look forward to seeing it.

Can't wait to see how it comes out. I actually just stopped by Maaco the other day to get an estimate on respraying my Ambo, so I'm anxious to see how yours looks plain white to help me decide on white vs. a color.

I like white, will look great!

Just about done - Took these yesterday, right before it went into the booth





I thought I might go out of town this weekend, but if I get this back by Friday, I may just hang out at home and work on it instead

Why doesn't the white match the fenders?

It will all match when it's done... That's why I'm doing it!

Alright, I'm trying to sell the wheels off the doner van, it is a 99. Did the vans change bolt patterns during the 99-04 years? Or are they the standard 'normal', non-metric? I'd like to be able to answer this to prospective buyers (without, you know, going and measuring or checking or anything)

Standard, 8 on 6.5.

When will the paint be done?
