I really hope this thread and this build inspires other vanners to step out of there comfort zone and take on a project that they really want to do...

Not just the way the van looks [and it looks very awesome BTW] but friends helping friends build it, sharing their passion and experience. That makes it awesome if nothing else. I miss the old days of building stuff with friends and the fun we had doing it.
ENJOY and thank you for sharing!

I am one that lives in a sort of comfort zone and believe certain things should stay the way they were built. I have a ’40 Plymouth and a ’38 Chrysler all done original down to the tires they wear. Now my van it is being changed, but only bolt on and no sheet metal or structural changes.
Until now!! That van you are building is turning out so coooool that I might step out, only baby steps at first like put a gull wing side door and go from there. Nothing to rad. I would have like to have seen your van going back to original, but I rather see what you are doing to it now then see it rust away and be sent to the wrecking yard. Too many vans are heading that way. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it finished. Richard
It is better to have Van'd once in your life, then to never had Van'd at all! | | | Re: 77 Dodge Street Van | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 | Looking awesome! were you sitting in the van making motor sounds like a little kid? vroom vroom.
