Project "G"

No not this year, but my goal is that it will be @ 40th. The 69 will be @ the 39th

Lookin' pretty sweet! How did you lower your front end? It's so low? I looked at a Dodge van that a guy had at a local cruise night and he had a dropped axle...

Finished door jam pictures

Very cool!! Time to clean up the tools!!

VH you should see the back of the van, bodyman doesn't want to lose anything so it all in the van + his tools

Man that looks nice and clean !

Lookin' better all the time G-Man!

Rod my bodyman wanted it to look factory smooth, He's really a craftsman. I tell him my ideas as out there they maybe sometimes he says I can do that

Yeah G-Man my body guy was the same way with both my van and my 67 Bronco. Hes real old-fashioned and hates Bondo, welds only, and with a gas welder too! He insists on making it perfect, notices every little dent and fixes it. Real nice guy, speaks very little English. Anyway, looks great G-Man!

Lookin' smooth bro! Nice and clean.

YOU ARE SETTING THE BAR A LITTLE HIGHER WITH THE WORK YOU ARE DOING !!! IT SURE IS LOOKING VERY SWEET. !!! WHAT COLOR ARE YOU THINKING OF PAINTING IT.???

2005 Monte Carlo Red

ON MY LAST CUSTOM VAN I DID I PAINTED IT HEMI ORANGE WE ADDED METALIC TO THE FACTORY COLOR. YOU WOULD ONLY SEE IT UP CLOSE BUT MAN WAS IT NICE. JUST A THOUGHT!!!

Well the vans are together again at my shop. Another set back. My bodyman is on hard times and has to move from where he's at. Right before Christmas, He's a good man but has fallen on some hard times. He tells me he will finish the work on my van in the spring. Like all of us family is first and he has to find some place for his family first to live and get things back in order in his life

I'm changing directions and hoping to start the drive train next and go back to the body and paint last.

Sorry to hear about your body man. Hope things look up for him & his Family soon. Hes really been getting your van project done fast

Chris,Im ready to cut on my tubs and was wondering what you are doing as far as relocating your springs. Im looking into all options/costs. I could go 4 link with coil over springs or stay leaf,maybe notch the frame. Im still undecided.

Tim I still have leafs (just one) to basicly hold everything in line. I didn't have to move the shocks in to get them out of the way of the tubs

Chris, a lot of cool stuff on that site!!!

They are too bad price wise either (as far as the hinges anyway)

As long as were on the hinge topic. I would love to remove my external hinges on the side and back of my panel. Any suggestions on internal hinges?

Hey G-man, Thanks for passing me on to your project........OMG awesome dude. I had a great friday morning reading through it.

Well after saving my pennies I got a great deal on a 350hp Z24 motor
