Not a problem Joe. You don't need my help, man, you're wide open and looks great from the 96.

Rebel there are a ton of people that think I'm crazy for doing all this work to an Astro. I just tell them I dare to be different the crowds a hang around with are Mini Truck guys. I tell them everyone out there can build Toyota but only a chosen few fix up Astro's.

Hey everyone have not been in for awhile getting the Van back in a few days still working on the apillers and doing a piece to bring the dash and the door panals together. Also shaved the antena and the wipers built a one piece metal cowl. When I go back over to the shop I will take some more pics. I'm just about finished trying to decide if I want to do a color change or not. I will bring it home and start taking the undercarriage apart and start powdercoating the 4-link.

I have been working real slow I want this time to be the last time i cut into the body and be done with it. I was trying to get it ready for a show that was suppose to be today out here in cali but it got cancelled about a month ago so I stopped working on it. I have another project that I'm working on at the same time.It should be done in about six months working on a 72 Datsun pick-up complete chassis and motor change.
