I agree it is your van and Just because I dislike something does not mean your time and talents are not worthy. My point was not that you should not do that or its a crime or anything of the sort. I said its not for me. People here in California at car shows have this idea that it has to be a 1974 vehicle or older just because thats the law here that a 74 or older vehicle does not require smog tests so the bozo's at the car shows I have been to will not accept anything newer in the shows. What that does is creates a situation whereas either you be like them or you stay away from car shows which actually hurts the custom car market here and it causes most younger generations to buy Honda's and other foreign vehicles so in ten or twenty years there will be less and less real American hot rods and muscle cars. So in a sense there prejudice is ruining the future of hot rods and hot rodding. I feel any car can be a hot rod since hot rod means to make a car your own and faster. So go right ahead and build that van how ever you wish as I am mine. Making my 89 Astro AWD would make it more rare since GM started making AWD Astro's/Safari's in 1990 and then lowering it to make it handle better. I doubt I will do it but I still wanted to know about it. I am old school so I still like the big back tires and smaller front tires look but I also would like my Astro lower then it is and close to even front to rear. Markmitch
