    To be different. I thought it was obvious by now that I like to build vehicles that most people would never consider doing. So far this thing has turned out to be alot of fun, and its not even half done

    I photoshopped a chop top onto it and I did'n't like how it looked at all. It looks alot more cartoonish as is.

    I heard that Dennys on 27th closed its doors last week, so i think I'm gonna spin down there and see if I can purchase one of those corner booths for the van

    Haha, sweet! I always wanted to hop up one of those "just to be different". Slam it, put some school centerlines on, and drop a BBC into it. The inside can hold a crap load I.C.E. too. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

    P.S. One thing comes to mind when I see that van now, the movie Friday.

    Haha, classic The fam was buggin me earlier, so I went out and worked on it a bit, enjoying todays fine weather

    The driveway was a bit crammed when I went out, so I moved some cars around and blah. Heres a photo of the van squeezed into the rear corner of my driveway


    Took the front bumper off, grinded most of the rust pitting off of it, and painted it with black undercoating



    Hit everything in the front with undercoating, and about half of the rear bumper



    And here it is reinstalled, fun fun

    That thing would look pretty good with a 89-91 blazer/suburban billet grill, and being that they are both pretty flat it would probably be pretty easy to do.

    So is that thing going to be like a mobile shop/display of you lighting stuff?

    I got my drop spindles finally today, but these are either 1/2 ton spindles or just the wrong ones in general. No way we will be able to get these to work. Hrmmm

    Got the front on the ground today, its about 8 inches from laying without spindles. I am either going to cut the lower bag cups 2 inches, or cut out the bottom of the lca and weld in some 3/8" steel and build a new bottom a bit lower then the factory bottom to get me 3 more inches of drop I think. As for spindles, I need to keep lookin for info cause it is NOT low enough

    Mocked up
