Hey Chris, quick question. What have you found is the easiest way to get a van body to a body shop once it's been removed from the frame?

We made a dolly.

Yea! V10 in this one. We didn't build it, just provided the kit and he brought it by for a once over.

Back from a quick vacation up to NY and Maine, nice trip seeing family & friends. Now back to the grind!

Here's V7 at the Kings Park Psychiatric Center, my entire family worked there when I was growing up, my dad actually grew up on the grounds since my grandfather was provided housing. Neat place, huge hospital, beautiful grounds. This is building 93, my other grandfather worked here and its one of the remaining structures. Lots of cool pics and videos of it on the web. Spooky place.

And apparently it's haunted!

History

This site was established in 1880 to alleviate the over crowding in the asylums in Brooklyn. Originally the site was owned by the County but when over crowding become a problem even here the state took over the hospital and developed it into a completely self sufficient facility able to generate its own electricity and food as well as having its own spur of the Long Island Railroad. As the population continued to grow in the 1930′s and space became a problem taller buildings were built including the famous Building 93 (pictured above) which would eventually become the hospital/infirmary for the site. By the 1950′s the patient population would reach its all time high at near 10,000. By the early 1990′s the facility had become a mere shell of its former glory with only the first few floors of even Building 93 being used as drugs began to replace therapy for the treatment of mental illness. In 1996 a plan to close the facility was brought to its conclusion with any remaining patients being transferred to nearby Pilgrim Psychiatric Center.

Legends and Paranormal Activity

Apparitions of former patients and staff, disembodied voices including people hearing their name whispered or called out, mysterious mists and light anomalies, unexplained bangs, screams and yells especially coming from the buildings, phantom faces appearing in windows, shadow figures, feelings of being watched and not wanted as well as general feelings of unease and intense sadness, reports of being touched and pushed, loss of power in electrical devices, doors and windows opening and closing on their own and reports of feelings of severe psychic disturbances and negative energy.

Roof rack is off to be wired, will post pics as it comes back together. High top is on the van so we can mark & cut the roof, then back off for the rack install, then final install of it all! Coming together...

It is crazy that we missed each other by an hour or so. I did see a guy flying next to 93 across from the fire house.

Chris -

Thanks for answering my question about the body moving. One more for you.

How do you have your exhaust setup on the v10? I haven't found any setups specific to 4x4 obviously and am a little scared to take it to an exhaust shop without having an idea about what sounds good/ works.

Thanks!
