Here it is. It's a picture of rastafari03's van, that I edited. Here's his gallery: gallery/album.php?album_id=77

Here's the original, for a comparison.

Nice job oman! I thought the first one was real......

I did this a while ago, and wish I had fixed the big white spot on the left before I posted, but I didn't even see it until now. :doh:

Nice photoshop, just crop the end off and blur the seams a bit and it'd be hard to tell.

Shorty rear and lift make van looks like a toy though, and slider track isn't long enough on shortened van... :mrgreen:

I fixed this up a little bit to show the full length of the slider track as well as a more accurate window size.

And if you wanted to make your shorty shorter.....

I've been shamed! In my own thread! :mrgreen:

I've actually been messing with it some more, and I think I'm getting close to finding a good window size. On my first one, there is too little window, but it almost looks like too little metal behind the window with a full window.

Of course, I only spend large amounts of time staring at my second gen van, and I've never seen a shorty up close and personal, so I'm just experimenting with the idea of it. I'm really diggin' that last one, though. Bet it would get way better mileage, too. :think:

Also what are you using? Because it seems like there must be something better than paint out there.

Here's a couple of NON photoshopped 1st gen shorty astros for you to look at for reference.

Here's one to show you the rear window size and the amount of metal behind it. Also the slider track goes to within inches of the taillight.

And a TRUE short shorty.

I'd drive that, it would be hella fun. Maybe make the lift a little bigger. Bump the tires out a little farther. It'd be just like a Jeep. Some Awesome Mud Terrains!

Me too! :thumbup:

I was thinking about having a van that size in the midst of my "what if" moment while driving home today. It would be something to rival the smart car.

I used Photoshop but there is a free knock-off version of it called Gimp which pretty much does the same thing.

Looks ready for FaceBook's Car Town game... :rofl:

I have seen the short Shortie in person. It is located in Osage, Missouri.
