    Van Hasn't Run For 8 Years, Starting It

    I am the homeowner. Are these frame horns?  Are frame horns painted?  The rust on everything seems superficial.  All the bare metal seems to have rust on it.  But it doesn't seem to have structural damage. What do you think?

    WOW, I am blown away by the number and quality of the posts.  Thank you very much!   I feel hopeful because of what I did not hear.  No one said that this was a bad idea.  In fact, I am thinking I can do this.  It won’t be as fast as I like.  I have the patience of a gnat, but I can do it. I...
