Spent a couple of days at home last week with a high fever. Blaaaa. Sick of sitting around, watching cartoons, and full of meds, and mind wanders?!....so, I got this real rusty Dodge A120? van a while back for the front straight axle, cool van seats, posi 8 3/4 Chrysler etc. Free in South Carolina, just had to go get it. What a beauty.
I kinda felt bad pulling it home, those puppy dog eyes in my rear-view for a couple of hours, knowing I am going to strip, scrap and junk it.
Scraping
Anyway it got down to the nose of the van and I wacked it off and put it in the new house, shop area that I am building. Wife is not happy, but hey it is my room. Don't know why I saved it at this point, but I did. This area of the house is unfinished. Need to pour a floor, wire it, more lights etc.
We are now caught up to the high fever point last week. Watching a cartoon it hits me - Dodge Shop light. Workmen had left a pair of LED 120v lights I could replace the headlights with.
Trimming to fit the buckets.
LED wiring. Blue is Neutral and to White, and Brown is Hot and to Black.
Made a brace for the wall and the nose pivots on the front leaf spring hangers. Harbor freight winch goes to the top of the Dodge nose to crank the top angle in or out.
There is a steel beam in the rafters the eyebolt and pulley mount to. Also added a light to the floor for backlight. Good enough.
Blue and green spray paint and hung.
