How about an update?
After a very uneventful summer I have started work on the van again. I had some major problems with my front suspension designs and had to do them over but, I have worked through that and actually started cutting up the van.
If you want to do some photo shop stuff I took a few pics last night with the tires and wheels set in place. I did a two pic shot of the side of the van to keep the rims in perspective. If you want to merge them into one file give it a shot. I plan to do it when I get some time.

Have fun...
Here is a pic of the interior after I got all of the plastic and carpet pulled out.

And here is one after I had both wheel wells and part of the floor removed.

I had a tough time starting the cuts... It seemed such a shame to cut it up. I was amazed at how clean this thing was. Even the bottom side is clean! I have never had the opportunity to work on a vehicle that was as rust free as this one is... Usually I am cutting out RUSTY parts... It really is a pleasure to work on something like this and not raise a cloud of dust.
