looks great. now you just cruise it around and enjoy. I've been working on my van for over 3 years now and still not finished so I think you got it done pretty quickly.

It's cool that you are going to the lengths necessary to make an accurate copy. I like the A-Team van but I hate to see lame copies. Keep up the good work.

I do too. I am not deviating from anything in the slightest, and any I do, I think I will be one of the few to know.

Im trying to think of the cost because Its been a while doing this whole project:

Bull Bar/Winch Mount Fab- 550
Winch- 260
Hook- 100 (25 +75 for Chrome)
Tow Rings: 100
Bumper Inserts- 85
Powdercoating- 225
Machining work- 110
Hardware- 95
Fairlead- 40
KC Slimlites- 220


Grand Total of $1785.00

Maybe next time it will be cheaper with my own shop and machining tools.
Still have to hook up the lights, and polish it up a bit, but that and the rear bumper are all done now.

Here is the winch wiring remote install, I cut three fins out of the bottom of the left drivers vent. Screwed it in through the bottom. Put it all back together and rewired.
Made it pretty.
Buttons worked, sleeper status achieved.
