Have you considered how you will make this work? I read where the van is not being built for practical reasons but still I hope that you design in water seals and the like. I just can't imagine how cool it will be to roll in to a truckin and watch you open the hatch. In reality this change will benefit you when you do your finish work. I see where you added metal to center of the top and that was of concern because it is so hard to do finish work out there. But now you can finish the hatch and top independently and with the length of the van roof after the change you should be able to work from either end to finish the roof. Awesome!
I'll have my feet on US soil late Monday and hope to spend some time on Tuesday clearing stuff in my garage to take pictures of my project. From there I will be bouncing some questions off of you.
Have a great week!
Randy Funny, I've been thinking a lot about this too. Coming up with ideas of how I would do it It'll be interesting to compare notes after the damage has been done... later...Beast Lee..."It has to have an ending to exist - Beast Lee""If it doesn't have a V8, it's not a sport - Beast Lee"

No, I meant more of an extreme build off. No rushing, that makes for shoddy builds. | | | Re: Project "Venom"... | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 1,474 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 1,474 | ultimate VAN build off!!! grab all our skilled vanners and get a bunch of new young fresh out of highschool auto guys 2 vans 7days....i think that would be awesome...

There would need to be some time limits established to get magazines involved to provide coverage and vendors to supply parts. There must be a way...
Ron, back to the task at hand. I look forward to watching the progress!
