A quick add on at LOUDGUY'S shop....a set of stock '94 fibreglass running boards painted to match the Coupe, which gives it a lower look and brings the body as low as the gas tank and traction bars.

The following pages are a step by step as the project is completed...

Bought this van for $250.00 boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet Astroboopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet AstroTook out the windows and welded two frames together

boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet AstroTook the back doors off,they were in really good shape and since I was going to cut them up and weld them solid the old ones from the Boop would work just fine no sence waisting them. Then cut the roof off.boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet Astro

boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet AstroOne thing it really needed was to be lowered, I flipped the rearend on top of the springs and a change of tires from 215/70/15 to a 225/50/15 gave me an...8 inch rear and 4 inch front drop.boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet Astro
boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet Astrocut off all the brackets and welded new plates to the rearend and added a 1 inch drop block Then added the traction Bars which I took off Boop II. boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet Astro

boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet AstroAdded 1/2inch conduit piping around the inside of the box to make a frame. Drilled 1/4 inch holes on the side and under the conduit so I can run rope lighting through it after its together.

boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet AstroAdded 20 guage body steel to the top of conduit and window framing boopvanner3's 1989 Chevrolet Astro
