Keep it some what stock looking is the goal, any body can cut up a vehicle, it putting it back together that is the hard part. It has caused a lot of extra work, had to make a few trips to PnP for interior pieces. Fitting pieces around the roll bar was a biotch, but it was worth it.
drag: Thank you. My 85 pro street Astro (RIP), the header flanges and deep tranny pan would hit some times. This Astros deep tranny pan is not as thick and front bumper hangs down farther, just not worth damaging stuff. If it wasnt street driven & Michigan didnt have some of the worst roads in the country, would be different.

Took a few pictures, soory it was hazy and gloomy this morning. New front end, went from an Astro sealed beam to a composite Safari, with a billet grille & Chevy bowtie I think I will be raising rear end up 1 hole, about 2 inches, could use some rake.
