Bagged 1966 G van under construction

Thanks. I have a nice crossflow but it needs to much space to work right with the plan. Save it for another project!

FIXED THE RADIATOR, sits much lower...now a/c condenser is next.

Well, this is a view of my Dual exhaust outlets, and an idea for rocket tips...not sure about them yet??? lookin for some feedback???

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK????

I think there cool as $%^&

Bad A$$!!! That's truly unique and you've made it your own. That's what these vans are all about. What makes you happy is what should guide your choices. It's gonna look Fantastic! You're not building it for anyone else but you so go for it! May not be everyone's cup of tea but that doesn't matter!!!

It's a Rocket Van...burning up your fuse up here alone!

I think they look good.  Kinda gives it that "lakes pipes" kinda vibe. Flame thrower pipes out the back...love it

Sweet.............. I can't wait till you are done want to see finished product. make sure to post video also when done.

Super cool.  Always liked those small tips with rocket ends made for Italian small body sports cars.  Some have color inside.  In awe of your craftsmanship.

Thanks for the words fellow vaners .I have to put things on hold for a few weeks, and will post more as it comes. Sometimes I can't stand when life gets in the way of me workin on the van, but @#it happens:(

Way cool for a full custom! The rocket look goes with the front bug eye space shuttle styling. I always thought these vans look like something out of Lost in Space or Star Trek, both shows that were popular during the original production of these vans!

Vanporn!

Thanks for making me feel so inadequate. You've got some serious skills. Have you ever thought about trying concealed hinges? Pretty sure you could pull it off.

So in the end it will have hidden hinges, front two doors will be suicide and rear will be 2/3 hatch and 1/3 tailgate...with upper hatch having one solid window. side doors will remail stock but hidden hinges also.

That sounds Gtreat. Can't wait to see more!

I like the exhaust set up. That brake booster arrangement is wild. I struggled with positioning mine for some time as well. This project is really taking shape man.

Looking good. That's going to be a sweet ride when she's done.

Over the Top fab job! The vid really shows what you've done! Any idea on the final color?

I believe the color will be root beer brown and a cream color, have been playing with the idea for a while.

Looking good man! I've got some catching up to do haha.

Sounds good, I was gonna say these vans look great in metallic copper variations, hence root beer! Did you see this one for some ideas:

Nice!    Are you digging the 90* bracket?    I couldn't find any 70's vans locally to rip one out of,  and ended up going with the kugel 90*  for mine.   That was after I man handled  the universal under the floor bracket and the wilwood 180* hanger pedal.     I liked the 90* best.   Still don't know what I'm going to do with my exhaust, but I like the rear port idea.

Very cool build thread.  Keep it up man!!!!
