Not my Van but very interesting

Interesting build on an Econo.

Some won't like the Chev engine but lots of interesting stuff.

Wow!!!! lots of mods going on there. It's going to be nice when it's done. Thanks for sharing this zuffen

Impressive!!!

I admire the "vision" that some people have to be able to see something in their minds and then make it come to life. Getting rid of those fugly door hinges makes the doors look so much better. Thanks Zuffen!

starting to see alot of body mods being done on econo 's its only going to make them more desirable . bet theres going to be a jump in price in a few yrs ! cool with me not selling mine .

I like the drive by wire throttle setups these newer engines use. I'd like to see/hear how the cooling system works out in the end.

NICE BUILD!! Thats my kinda Van =ford -Chev powered!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like anything thats Chevy powered! Even a ford!

That thing is gonna be sic if he ever finishes it.

Sorry to be the one to disagree with every one, but this guy totally screwed up a reasonably straight van to make this bull crap version. Don't mean to piss anybody off but this thing is rediculous, and not in a good way.

Two things...
1) HAHA! Wheelie! that means you like my dodge then!

2) Yes it did SEEM to be a very decent vehicle. its not showcasing skills when you cut up a nice car to build something. It REALLY makes you a bad ass if you can do it with a piece of junk and SAVE it from the scrapper! THATS the mark of a truly skilled person. You want to say your cool? go buy some junk and save it. Take for example that... what was it 59 thames van one of our guys on here is doing? THATS mastery!

Ya, Goth I have been watching your build thread. Very cool! I am a mopar gm fan so I am definitely a fan.

yeah gothboy you hit the nail on the head . so true

Ill say this = look at what the man started with??? darn improvement with all! Im not a fan of using the late dash yet better if he didnt have any dash parts present at all! Lots of work & looks like a talented man too! Keep up the good work there!!

Very nice work.. only thing that brings it down is the chevy motor. I am a big chevy fan, but putting a chevy in a ford or a ford in a chevy is kind of stupid.

the Arrogance here is enough to make me puke.

My opinion is its not our van. If the guy wants to convert it to a chicken coop then it's his right. That doesn't mean we have to like it but at least it's not in the crusher! That's what I love about our hobby. It's different strokes for different folks. It's the community that makes it cool, not just the vans.

Well put Wheelie! Part of owning these vans is being able to make them your own, whatever that may entail.

i think the guys very talented, let him alone if he wants to put a jet engine in it, its his dream not ours!

Right on Wheelie!

The morale of the story is... You can still tell its a van, and not a "crush cube"

Someone putting a VW engine in a Rolls Royce is no worse than another one removing all the trim, bumpers and door handles from a Peterbuilt. This site is a place for people who have a passion for personalizing a vintage vehicle. Some want an historic restoration while others want a mere hint of the vehicle's origins. Hey! Its all a matter of personal taste. Whether you agree with the result is not material. The fact that some one acomplished what he or she set out to do is to be admired.

i fully agree!!!!!!!!!!

thanks to all of you that restored my faith in our community.
