Who's this guy?

Trying out this blog thing. Gonna try to keep it mostly van related for now. Working on two Dodge vans at the moment. An impact blue 1980 Dodge Streetvan and a white 1985 Dodge van. Starting mostly with the white one so I can get some practice to as the streetvan is my baby. Comments and Suggestions are welcome as long as they are constructive.

Starting the body work on the white van. got 4 doors for the back to practice on. When I bought the van the rear doors were wrecked so I've bought a few and gonna go for the best 2. Still debating on what color the van will eventually be but i've got plenty of time to think about that while i'm block sanding this beast. Interior will likely be a surf/tiki theme but I've been known to change my mind.

More toys.

couple vans i've spotted



Added some centerline wheels and new tires. Test fitting the flares. Bought them from trucknvans.com, very unhappy with the fit for the passenger side. called them up and sent pics of how far off the front lower on that side and they said too bad there must be something wrong with my van. Flares also do not fit my 1980 street van and are supposed to. Would not recommend them for flares. will have to do some major reconstruction on the passenger side.Passenger side front looks nothing like the driver side and one would think they should be mirror images of each other. The wheels really changed this van.










Some before pics of my white project van. $500 bucks. First thing to go is the ugly bug shield.
