Ok . He heres the stor y.
 

I bought the Van in March of 2008. A Friday night, brought her home. The next day, Took me twelve hours to cut Van from a 125'' wheel base to a 74'' wheel base. I cut the sliding door section all the way around including chassis. Sunday morning I got two 30'' x 4 1/2 galvanized boat trailer i-beam and welded into the uniframe slots of the Van. Connected the Van together and welded all away around it. Reinforcing every corner, every edge nice and tight.

*This is some of the work I did:
 
*I dropped the van from the rear moving the rear leaf spring shackle 3'' higher than stock.
 *I cut my springs in the front being that no company in this world sells spindles for it. 1 1/2 circle cut, dropped it 4''.
 *Welded drive shaft to a funny 18''.
*Shaved door handles, from manual to power lock kit, from manual window to power window kit.
</br> Shaved bulky factory mirrors and installed El Camino 4'' round mirrors with Chevy Emblem engraved , from JEGS.
* Installed vintage Rally wheels, 15''-6 1/2'' fronts with Mickey Thompson..28'' x 6. and shortened Rally Caps(Custom ordered also from JEGS) stainless steel trim Rings.
*Rear: 15'' x 10'' 4 1/2 rear spacing. Also with Long caps and Stainless steel trim. On 29'' x 13'' m-t.
*Installed flares and custom made my own side skirts fabricated 6'' metal studs from my job. Molded into  the fiberglass  flares for a one piece look. Niice. Fiberglass in everything.
* Rear and front bumpers to the scrap yard, rear being smoothed out with a roll pan and front section where the bumper was at I fabricated steel to smooth out with front spoiler, one piece. Niice.
 
*All brand new weather stripping all around; Doors and Windows.
*Installed a tilt steering (factory was stock).IN the future its going to have a nice aluminum grant steering wheel. But thats later, thats final touches when im done with all the dirty work.
* It has a 305 TBI which is going to be yanked right out and transplanted with a 350 with the goodies.
* Shaved side  markers, Im fabricating and welding raised Bow tie emblem, 1/4'' high in its place.
*Rear lights all brand new, installed later after Paint.
* Future Billet Grill which I am fabricating myself out of polished aluminum.
* It will have a lokar automatic floor shifter, 24'' 2 bends.
*All the inside door handles will be billet, including mirror but all these Goodies will be shown when Van gets engine installed and painted.
*Not in yet but due to van not being painted yet, its going to have a visor. the A-Team rear wing.

*THATS ALL FOR NOW...PICTURES WILL BE ADDED AS I GO, OF ALL THE GOODIES.

I saw a vw chopped with about a foot between the wheels. Pop the clutch and the sucker would stand straight up, they'd grab the emergency brake and it would slam down and stand on the front bumper. Awesome ride there Angel
