Spent the day scuffing up the paint with scotchbrite pads. My arms are jelly. Tomorrow the liner gets sprayed in.

Who knew that the Promaster already had a secondary fuel tap built in? Great for RV'ers that want to add a fuel line for a generator or a Carpet cleaner with a lawnmower engine. I don't think this would work for my sapphire because it's fuel injected and needs a return line. I wonder if I could tap into the existing return and save $400 on the fuel tap? Edit: it's going to work just fine. Thanks Proline of Sacramento for trying to scalp me.

Talk to your mechanic, I wouldn't be surprised if you could.

I just got of the phone with a guy named Morgan Kirk. He has an 870 in his Promaster and he is running it just fine. When he got his 870 they supplied him with the parts to plug into the existing fuel tap.

I'm a little pissed. I called Proline the other day in Sacramento and they tried to sell me a $400 fuel tap. They will never get any of my business. Very shady.

What did youdo with the plywood?
I took it out and put it in my garage. I'm going to treat it with water sealer. After the armor coating is sprayed in I'll reinstall the wood floor. Inside is getting sprayed on Saturday. So until then I'm in a holding pattern.

I might just drive it back and forth in front of Tom and Ivan's homes. Just to show off a bit.

Still waiting for the adapted art work. Also I'm selling a few cars and put the funds back into the business. Anyone wanna. Box truck, Corvette, or BMW K1600 GT?
You forgot to mention a sailboat and a bunch of bling bling ghetto watches

go idea about water sealer. you could also put some comm. carpet on floor of van to make inside look better than most vans. I put a horse mat under my tm and so it has no metal to metal contact or vibration. If you want to make it real quiet then put sound mats on the floor, walls, naand ceiling.

b-quiet dot com

this is less cost than dynamat with same specs. it can also go on the waste tank outside to lessen noise.

Ryan Kettering is the man. Now lets see if we can get the funds together and make it happen. I just need to know where to place the Mikey's Board sticker.

Looks good overall....

Not to keen on how small and hidden your contact info is.
I am very keen on the small number. I'll tell you why,
I have only got three calls in 5 years from the giant ass number on the side of my van. They were like this
Call #1. Can you do estimates. I only want to pay $75
Call #2. Does your 1 ton van have suspension issues? I'm wanting to get one.
Call #3. Your van kicked up a rock on the freeway and chipped my windshield and I need your insurance info.

So I am not wanting a big number. They can walk up to the door and get it
