my old astro

Postby 8287steve [OP] » December 21st 2010, 5:58am

Im a new member here. I built this van back in 2002. Lays rocker panel on 20" rims with no body drop. Also has nissan 350z independant rear end. This is the only pic I have on the computer. The build pics are in a photo album.

I also would like to see more build pictures.. Where did you get all the info for this build?
What did you do with the inner front fenders? Did you relocate the brake paddle?? Or just mod and welded the side kick panels ?

If I have time over xmass I will try and scan some build pics. Im a welder fabricator by trade, so I just started cutting and welding till it was done. There are no inner fenders under the hood. The fenders inside the van are a bit bigger than the rims.On the pass side there is just enough room for one foot between the dog house and the fender.The only pedal that I had to move was the parking brake. It now sits right beside the brake pedal, almost like a clutch pedal.
