How do you do?...

[old69vanner]

Howdy all!...I discovered this site thru Google, though I do have Yahoo I do mostly like to keep private...I was born is 1967 and I own a 1969 Chevy G10 van...it is 108" WB and has no windows...I call it my silver bullet because the van was originally purchased by Coor's beer company.<br><br>Past history...20yrs in construction, mostly doing electrical but also managed to learn a few other trades including, framing, drywall, plumbing, tile flooring and counters, painting and finish, finish trim carpentry, cabinet making skills as well as euro cabinet design, roofing, low voltage electrical design and circuit layout and just about everything in between, when it comes to fixing or repairing stuff there isn't much I can't fix or repair...along with that came a lot of tools<br><br>Automotive history...did body work and paint for about 4yrs but that was in my younger days...worked at 3 different dealerships doing warranty work and where I learned most of my electrical repair skills...I have mastered the ins and outs of just about most EFI designs and have became a very avid electrical guru...I have wired street rods, boats and buggy's as well as doing resto mods...I can also rewire motorcycles as well...I have rebuilt several engines and many carbs.<br><br>My future will entail me to haul my tools around the country and hope to become one of the first mobile handyman on spot repair guys to help anyone in need of fixing their RV, van, trailer or camper at their camp site or I will if close by come to your location.<br><br>I love to fix stuff or even build your vision...right now I am living with my mother and she is helping me achieve my goals to get my van road worthy...I lost my home in 2008 and recently in the last couple of years have been thinking about my retirement...and since I love to repair stuff and fix things I can maybe combine my wanting to travel with&nbsp; the desire to keep busy and tour the country.<br><br>Anyway I will share more on another thread...thank you so much for this opportunity to share my dreams.<br><br>SB <br><br>

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome...honestly, I bought my van over a year ago and have gotten her road worthy...spent a lot of money, over 2k so now this is the summer to finally get the title from the owner and get her registered...then I will do the high top conversion and then a nice clean paint job!<br>
