Wow I've just stayed up way too late reading all this, truly impressive. Would love the know-how to rip mine apart, but best left to the pro's I think, I'd get it apart and i'd never get it together again. Maybe when my van's 50 years old it'll be the time for a full resto, or maybe i'll give it to the kids to have fun with. Either way lots of future fun. Good post, learnt a lot!
