Now I have gone and done it. The van is useless now. A friend gave me a steel tagbox, I wasnt going ot use it, then decided to use it.
The front is still wrecked, but I have couple donor vans lined up, so it will be fixed soon.

Re: Shaved back door
Finished pic. I want to repaint the van after repairing the wreck damage so paint amtching isnt a priority.

For now I open it from the inside. GM's worse idea ever, no interior door handle on a 93 Astro. I took the door panel off before I welded everything solid. The plan is to repurpose the door lock acuator to open the door. Eventually I will shave all of the doors and use a remote, with an emergency hidden manual release.

Far north!?!?!?!?!?!? 120 miles makes LickSkillet the Far North? Unlike the mile marker, we got wrasslin on Saturday night at the Music Barn.
Thanks fro the compliment. It isnt as radical as a Vette rear, but I have some plans for the suspension.
