    That's the best looking custom van I've ever seen...and yes even though it's a 2nd Gen!

    Where did you get those pictures from?

    Ya know. I'm not really a 2nd Gen guy but I'm realllly liking where this owner is taking this van!

    1- Chopped.
    2- Modding the front end (Starting to look like a 3rd Gen Dodge).
    3- Suicide side door.
    4- Looks like she's going to be a "Rag-Top" too.

    Wouldn't mind getting a like at the "Idea" sketch taped to the side panel and dash!!!

    any one spotted the size of the DH in that van? =Large & teh front spokes are old style -im thinking =no brakes on teh front or at least no discs yet?/ Looks like a coming full blown custom?/

    I have to agree, Most heavy modified vans are hard to like but that one has class and style. I like the look but I'm too tall to sit in it.

    You see the paint on that helmet he has? I'm working on an idea for something similar in the body groove of my A100 Cool

    Flame job from the front to just behind the doors (still inside the groove) and then flake/lace the rest of the way. I'm saving my pennies for the body work currently

    NICE work Dan, now if we could just get more info.

    WOW not just a chopped top but a sectioned body also!!?!!?!!

    I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd like to see the front suspension on that thing & those Gasser ET wheels on the front look great.
