    Very cool; love the grill/front end. I've tossed around an idea for a while of taking an Astro and "down-dating" it instead of "updating". Use a 50s dash, quad round headlights with 50s style bumpers and grill, etc. Maybe someday....

    Maybe she wouldn't notice....????? Could just tell her you were doing some routine maintenance on the van....and it's taking a bit longer then you thought it would.....

    We had one of the Astro sites a guy that for a living worked on marine BBC engines.What he did was to put in a blown BBC in a Astro mid ship.Licensed to drive on the street with zoomies.The solid mounted rear end wasn't very street friendly.It had a frame rail that ran from the back of the front sub frame to the rear.
    Good Bye
