holy crap, i just saw this post now......great work!!! can't wait to see the finished product. you have some crazy fab skills my friend.

couple of q's for you...i may have missed the answers along the way but if you could humor me.....

what width wheel r u running in the back?
and it looks like u have fender flares......did u fab those out of metal or are they plastic?

thanks and keep up the great work.

20x 10's in the rear and everyone around me thinks i made flares also it must be because how low the van is it looks flared but its stock body and stock 95 fenders on an 89'

Should be interesting to see what you do Danny, since you have the interior gutted do you plan on having an access for changing out the fuel pump?

[nitropyro]

The sheet metal looks good painted, what made you go with caulking over the welds?

[peter]

Lookin' better'n better, Danny! Any idea of a completion date?

[nitropyro]

Zammy- Its seamsealer so any slight holes that may be in between my welds this will seal it up so no water gets in or exhaust gases. all factory use it to seal new cars up. i like the factory oem look and its cleaner doesnt looked hacked like a 21 year punk did it lol(wait did i just call myself a punk)
Petey- thank you sir! i dont want to really put one out there really because i thought it was gonna be done close to 2 years ago lol but my goal is to make some shows next year but interior may not be done. i am only working 32 hours right now because ohio is in this awesome ression lol. i want an all alpine stereo in this thing and it will be all leather and suede through out. im pretty optimistic with this thing if im lucky it will be complete next last summer but im not gonna rush it either.
