Chevy & GMC Vans

Bud,it's kind of dark and hard to make out.

Looks great to me!

Thank you, Lifted

Starting to get antsy, almost done, should be done before May gets here. Getting fuel cell made and mounting fuel cell is the only major thing left.

To the members veiwing my post: The design of my mounting bars for the racing harnesses, is the the safest. The cross bar should be just below the head rest, this would be the safest and smartest design. If you are building a roll bar for safety, in any vehicle, I do not recommend my design.
I am building a summer toy, not a drag racer. I am far from fast enough to even require a roll bar.


Gary, this is not about you.

A member on the other website, made 2 different comments about things I should do or change on my roll bar. I told him it was my Astro and not his, he got really rude, wrote some more nasty comments, which were deleted and he has been banned for awhile.

Center consoles: had to cut off rear cup holders and cut an inch of bottom to fit roll bar

mocked up fuel cell, will be mounted under floor

marine gas filler, will be mounted in drivers side quarter panel

modified side skirt for oval exhaust tip & made template for aluminum heat shield, doubles as cover for cutout

Got it off the jacks:



dont mind fuel lines and wires, waiting for fuel cell

Converted front from sealed beam Astro to composite Safari

Billet Safari grille with a polished aluminum Chevy bowtie

Looking great! Gonna be tough driving it in the winter with those rear meats! How soon before it hits the strip?

This is my summer toy, no dragstrip, just weekend cruiser, car shows and cruis-ins.

The fuel cell should be done next weekend Tuesday, so next week/weekend, hopefully by the 12th. Really waiting on fuel cell, bought mock-up to a shop last week Monday, they just told me next Tuesday, not happy. Kinda my fault, I should have worked on fuel cell design sooner.

not sure about the cargo net, but it does finish off the kinda looking interior

worked on the exhaust heat shields, just taped on, needs a little more filing before mounting

Man I like this van.

Installed arm rest covers:






Got custom fuel cell and mounted it



fuel tubes

gas filler installed


Got it running today, get exhaust done, few little things, will be cruisin by the weekend

Nice!

Took it to get a bath, it was covered in dust.
Took a few pictures, sorry not very good, it was hazy and gloomy.
New front end, Safari with a billet grille and Chevy bowtie.




Think I will be raising the rear up a whole, about 2 inches, could use some rake

Now if I was gonna hot rod an Astro...THIS would be it!

Lifted: Thank you for the compliment.

I really like the last picture, looks really bad ass. I was kinda worried the longer body would look a little goofy, compared to pro street shorties, but it really looks good.
