Chevy & GMC Vans

Some updated pics. Its been pretty hot today so I figured it'd be a good day to paint some more. So heres the pics. I'll throw in a few pics of my 96 Honda Accord with a custom wide body kit I installed. I painted it the same way and the same color.

Started painting the front bumper cover. Still gotta paint the grill. It going to be black.

Got the grille painted gloss black. I like how it looks. I broke the center chevy logo when I tried to get it out to paint the grille. Also I've decided to add something major to this build. After reading up on another guy doing the same thing I thought it sounded pretty cool. I'm going to add a hightop to my cargo van. I called a local salvage yard and he said they had a couple astros there with the hightops on them. He said $75.00 for the roof. Sounds like a good deal to me.

wow.. great pics!!

so do you have the walkthru of the rustoleum paintjob. i've seen others on the net, just wondering if you do yours any differently?

great glass work btw too. it amazes me. i tried it once and ended up a little high from the fumes and strands of glass stuck to everything.. my arms, legs, shoes, hat.. and some on the car

the cargo with the raised roof should look cool

I've posted all the pics I got of the paint job. I have a pretty good write up on the paint job I did on my accord on gen5alive.com.
Heres the link to that one.http://www.gen5alive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13499

The fiberglass work took a little time to figure out. Main suggestion is wear latex throw away gloves. Get a box of about a 100 pair for $7 at Harbor Freight.

The reason I'm thinkin about going with the raised roof is for my daughter. The reason I got an astro cargo van is my daughter is real sensitive to light. So with no windows on the side its no problem for her. Now with the raised roof I can install a tv and whatnot for long trips.

Great pictures, link and write up, I`m following along .....

Heres the newest pics of it. Just got it legal yesterday with insurance, plates, registration.
Got the roof painted and got a new drivers side fender extension piece. The old one was broke half way down. Also went back to factory mirrors. The smaller ones I made were just too small and driving a cargo van you have enough blind spots to worry about.




And this is what I'm thinking about doing to the side of the van. I want to paint the area where the windows normally are to make it look like a passenger van.

i cant see any of the pics.

Yeah we Love to see the pics... > so why did you all delete them ?
