NO, I don`t know what you mean?......What are you talkin` about?...... That van looks great > short body style with a new-style front end transformed onto it, and with a V8......

Do you know how many hours it takes to do that?

Until you have done that yourself......> You need to RESPECT the Hard Work performed here Bro...... Because NO Body mods are easy......


Your van looks Awesome TD..... :supz:

Wow! Interesting looking van. I was trying to figure out what made it look so different, other than the great color scheme, then I realized it has a front end conversion! Cool!

I really like the looks of the first generation Scion, and don't take this wrong, but it looks like a giant version of a Scion! Now I know what my 91 Safari would look like if I put on a 95/ front clip on it. The old grey matter is starting to stir a bit.

Thanks for sharing your van with us. I like it a lot.

thanks for the accolades gentlemen,,, she's been taken out of daily driving duties due to a new addition to the family.

looks just this minus the vent-visors & hood shield
then add a dark grey to the lower belt-line

otherwise, thats my "new" baby ('99 - last of the 5.7L in fulll-size Chevy and square'd body)
