This is skipping ahead a little bit but I was curious..are you doing those fender flares and ground effects out of steel or fiberglass? I really love the way that looks and have another van image saved on my phone that’s similar and wondered how that might be accomplished

The ones I plan on building on this van will be made of metal. My other project they (flares, air dam and running boards) are fiberglass and all molded in

No turning back.......Cut out the sides today and cut the door tops off. Next up will be to cut out the rear corners and to cut the windshield posts and to drop the front down.

Started the actual chop. Removed rear corners and cut the windshield posts to push the roof forward and down. Now starts the hours and hours of adjusting....matching up the windshield posts....reinstalling door posts in their new locations....reinstalling rear corners....pulling in the side panels and welding....and that's just the start before I even get to the doors.....but I can start to see what the final shape will be.
