    Hello,
    New member here from The Netherlands. Just bought me a A100.
    He will be sent soon, and then hope that he is as described. Planning is to mount disc brakes, bumpers and maybe power steering. Already had several Van's but slightly newer types. Currently working on restoring my Plymouth Scamp.

    When you have the side door step and the pop out windows, you have the top of the line van,,,,and those side markers mean you have one of the newest and safest one up to that year,,,,

    For the moment I just go to search parts. He is rustfree and the paint is ok for me. I'm not going to register it yet,first have to finish my rotisserie restored A body. When that one is finished I will work n this one.
    So biggest problem are the bumpers I think.

    Original is not required. And I do not think it is payable to send bumpers from the USA.

    Sure I read the topics here. In the future it will be nice that I can use him frequently, so brakes and suspension need some upgrades I think. Smile

    thanks, savage,  and you are right the dodge  bumpers suck  so did the bumper brackets,
    when i came up with these i was looking at the street rod bumpers. and bumperettes.
     as well i looked at the 60`s mustang always liked those bumpers  and still do the rear one might work, any ways i used the bumperettes from the 66/67 mustang below the bumpers,
