Dave,remember the Yellow 57 that for yrs was a featured build in Popular Hot Rodding.It was god knows how many kinds of builds and changes.You could go threw the same evolutions with your car if you like.

Found it interesting your "shop boy" background.I too did the same thing as a kid working at Paul Weaver's garage.

At the end of the day,no matter who says what,it's your car to do what you want.Look at me.A Astro high top hot rod/tow van.HUH??.Well it's what I want and if anyone has something against that..........yeah,it's my project to do what I want.Heck if we where all alike,how boring would that be..........
