Chevy & GMC Vans

figured id share overe here also for those who havent seen it.
Project Ratstro, all in all will be a full blown custom. will sit on 20's and 18's chip foose wheels on thin, wide bf goodrich g force rubber. A 402 bbc coupled to a 700r4 built to handle the power, into a ford 9in with 4.11's. axles tubes cut, to fit the new rubber with moser axles cut to length. stainless steel break company (ssbc) break cailpers up front and rear both disc's. air ride on all corners. shaved everything fuel door, locks, handles, license plate relocated to rear roll pan and body line gone. then a 95 front face lift switched to a safari billet grille. will be two toned with ford (c4) blue up top and ford (cx) gun metel grey on bottom, split at the body line under the windows. all suede and leather interior with caddy seats and custome dash that flows into a center console that will go into the rear of the van for the passengers. with alpine type x speakers and subs at all corners with alpine flipout controlling it all. maybe a flip down screen or headrest monitors for passengers.

Simply amazing man! Its going to be a great before and after photo! Makes a simple TBI engine swap look like a 5 year old can do it.

Absolutely sick! Glad to see you're still at it, I've often wondered if you were still plugging away at it!
Thanx so much for coming here to share

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Each picture speaks a thousand words, great fabrication build up......

Safari- thanks man!
Peter- i miss you thats why i came here lol urban my friend told me about the bagged van in the suspension thread and saw his amazing work. i sorta couldnt get used to the layout thats why i stayed over at the orginal site, i know alot of the old members have hard feelings about the other site but figured some of you might like to see the progress......so i will keep you all updated there wont be any pics this weekend waiting on the 4 link i go pick the 9in up in about 8hrs. so expect pics next week.
ihatemybike-thanks man its starting to come together hope to have it all done by next summer.
