Re: project Fat Huh Body Mods
Danny also looked at your build nice work. I Keep adding to this Van and I think it is time to finish it up I have had the Van since new there is only about 12,000 miles on it. I like the side body kit is it metal or fiberglass I'm fooking at doing some sort of side body kit. Thanks Bob
Re: project Fat Huh Body Mods
cool idea using zuse fittings. the side skirt is made out of metal. i think building the stuff is half the fun, but i think yours could use a few more miles lol.

Re: project Fat Huh Body Mods
Danny I may do the side skirts I will be the shop tommrow and have to look at that. Because if it is not metal I do not like to us it.
Re: project Fat Huh Body Mods
metal is the best way then you dont have to worry about flexing or it adhereing well, once its welded its not going any where. i made mine go straight down and then bent it(around 30 degrees) for strenght with one other lip after that( a 90 degree) so it couldnt flex or be wavy. but yet looks flat and flush from standing view.

Re: project Fat Huh Body Mods
Brought the Van back home today not much getting done at the shop so decided to bring it home built a metal cowl for it shaved the wipers squirters and antenna. It turned out real good almost to good everyone thinks its fiberglass, which is not a good thing. I will post pics later tonight or in the morning.

Sorry for the delay built a metal cowl for it shaved the wipers squirters and antenna. Painted it this weekend took it to a show everyone thought the cowl was fiberglass. I may have have to beat a dent in the metal so everyone knows it's metal.
