This van had a lot of dents in it. Which, they had to be pulled out. then our help came; Emmit Mitcham came with a dent puller. thank you, it helped us move alone smoothly!
Drew was trying to pry the dents out as much as possible, while Emmit put more studs in to pull out the dents.
Alex, Ole, and Bugs all put a few dent pulling studs into the sides of the van.
As you can see in this picture at the tip of the gun it has a red glow. The end of the stud gets hot and welds on to the side of the van and then gets pulled out with the dent.

Perfect Tank
Jordan is taking the gas tank out in this picture because that area needed to be cleaned. the tank also needed to be checked for leaking and rust.
As you can see from these three pictures, there is no rust on the inside and barely any on the outside. There is also no leaking. We got pretty lucky with the gas tank.

The floor even had to be replaced!
When we first got the van, the floor was coming out and it was totally trashed. So, Brycin cut the floor out, so a new one can be put in.
After they began to cut out the floor, they had to push it out of place to see how much they had to cut and how much would just push out because of rust.
This is what it looked like after the floor was cut out.

The Front Axel
After the van got put onto the side, the axel needed to be removed to be undercoated and to get the rotors turned.
After the axel was taken completely off, it was cleaned and sprayed with rust inhibitor and undercoating. The break shrouds and the caps were grinded on and cleaned, sprayed with rust inhibitor, and painted. We then got the rotors back and put it all back together.
