    well i have finally been working on my van.. replaced entire brake system ... starting some minor body work .. did up the front a little to see what she's going to look like..
    so far i like it.. looks a little sleepy ..
    going for the old school Rat Rod look .. flat black satin..
    have a guy lined up thats going to do some old school flames .. and I'm going to do Rat Fink on the side..
    should be interesting.. more to come soon..

    hope to get new tires on her.. the rear are about wore out and the fronts are new but i kinda like the raised white letters.. so 4 new BFG's would prob look good... plus if you noticed the fronts are taller than the rear.. so we shall see what happens...

    no it don't seem to have any effect on cooling... it does however catch bugs nicely.. Shocked

    the holes are bigger than they look .. so it still gets plenty of air flow..
