Thumbs up VAN Enthusiasts

I recently emailed FTE asking...
"Have you considered adding a section, just about Ford vans?, not for
mechanical type questions,
because that is covered in the other forums. I was thinking of a forum for
modifying your van for camping, traveling, etc."

A few days later I recieved this reply
==============================================
We've considered it but we just don't get many people with vans on the site.
I'm not sure I could justify it because I don't know if it can have enough
traffic. If you can locate 4 other users on the site willing to
participatewith you I'll add it.

So, if you would like a section on FTE's forums about Ford Vans let them
know!

I emailed Ken this morning. We've needed a place of our own for a while now.

Cool

Please, by all means count me in!!!!!! 1970 Econoline 300!!!!!!!!
and MustangGT221, Van talk is something you wouldn't understand, plus it would probably bore you.

We basically want a forum where we can discuss how we created things for our vans. I myself have had plans for a bed/subwoofer box for a couple years now. I also want to put a functional hood scoop on it. Things that we have to do ourselves because nooone makes them anymore. Also trying to find anything interior related about a van in this forum is a pain in the neck, and I don't mean audio/video either.


Anyone interested in the VAN only forum needs to email KEN directly. You can use the contact us link to do so.

I asked a question about the door opener mechanism on the side door of my van, and got 0 responses.
I think a van only section would be good. They are a little different than working on the engine and such in pick-ups.
