Great Body mods and great pictures...... Image

I used to cruise down to the "Sunset Car Club" meets in the Fullerton area in my V8 White primer Astro, for our SoCal Astro Meet......

I was the guy with the Lowered `86 Cargo, V8, `97 front and rear ends, Shaved handles and filler door, Cadditails, welded lower Dutch Doors, Gulwing Slider all in white primer...... with 18 inch Chrome Irocs.
`86 V8 Lowered Cargo, extensively modified, shaved bald, wearing the shortest, sluttyest white primer dress....

I run across some people that think I messed the Van by putting them so high. But I always said that if I was going to do caddy lights that I would do them high and a little deeper inset than most were being done. I would like to get together with you sometime and talk V8s. I asked the question on the other site about smog what year motor I had to run and how hard it was to get smogged.

I was told getting my beauty sleep was a waste of time.

1990 Astro (Z motor) mostly original @ 343,584 miles (552,944.8488960001 Canadian) (03/2008). Bad startup puff. Starting to spray for skeeters. Gone 06/07/08.
1993 Astro with a bad W motor. Parked next to a chicken coop in Talking Rock GA
I'm 'tween Canton and Holly Springs (North NorthWest of Atlanta GA)
I haul bottled water everyday- between 500 and 2500 pounds (226.796185 and 1,133.980925 Canadian) INSIDE the van.

That is a pretty van. I love the inverted louvers on the hood. I now have someething that I can do to the hood. This is way to short for a scoop and I like scoops but the louvers are nice. There may be another van with louvers in the next five years! LOL
