Chevy & GMC Vans

Well here I am. This seems to be a good thing so far. I do hope that AS.com comes back like it was or even better. I know you all feel the same way. Learned a lot there and hope to learn more too. If not then let this site take off and be a Astro/Safari heaven. Now back to the van and sanding it. Dang I hate sanding. LOL

Welcome! It's nice to see the regulars as well as the newbies. There is no Astrosafari without the members...dang I'm starting to sound like a PBS commercial...

Are you sanding by hand? I bet that could be REAL tedious with all of the surface area offered by the standard Astro. If this is a project, feel free to post up. Oh and we still like pics

Sanding every way there is but mostly by air power. I am shaving the darn things and changing the tail lights to Caddy style. I am still thinking on what to do with the slider maybe change it to a suicide style or weld it up and just do away with it. I am looking for a good set of dutch doors and all that I need to make them work on my 89 van. It is slow going but it will get done. Oh yeah the engine is coming out soon when the new V-8 gets back from the machine shop. Nothing real fancy just a nice 355 TBI to replace that six that is in there now. Back to the van, Later.

Sounds nice. As long as you plan on not crowding the back with anything (everything accessible from the back entrance), I'd weld the slider shut. But then I suppose this reply really belongs in the customized section
