This is no longer a Flintstone car

When we first started the project we ripped the floor out of our van with the intention of replacing the whole thing. I soon discovered that no one manufactured a replacement floor for a 1971 model. I had been looking everywhere for a fix for my problem and finally I found http://www.klassicfab.com.













They make this great one-piece replace floor and as you can see it fits very nicely.













I love the days when new parts show up, it like having a birthday in the shop.

We have moose in Alaska!!!!

So looking at the bumper you might be thinking "man that thing is huge". Well, yes it is!! There was a lot of effort that went into the design and construction of this part of the van. It needed to have some style with flowing curves to match the shape of the van. It needed to be more stable than the existing bumper to make our insurance company happy. It also needed to be taller to account for the near 4inch drop that the van is getting. It is well built and a little on the heavy side but I believe that it will create a level of safety that we need from an older vehicle, that way if we do have a car pull out or a moose step out in front of us there will be something between us and it.
