I have a new project and I need help. I bought a butt ugly 83 conversion van. Low milage, everything works, and I think it will be way cool when I get done with it. It has a 351W, c6, towing package, and its loaded. The colors definatly arent my choice but I am changing all that. The headliner is about the only thing tats going to stay. Its like a chestnut brown courdaroy and it is perfect showroom, not a mark on it. The shag carpet is going and replaced with factory black tight loop. All the fake paneling will be used as templates and replaced with virgin Wormy Chestnut. It has four captains seats that swivel and lay down where you could sleep in them that I am going to dye. They are comfortable and I think they will look good. Its missing the back couch. I am going to make it with storage boxes on either side where the couch comes out and my street bike can go in. I have a 72 Norton that I have no interest in riding on the highway. Just backroads. With the van, my wife and I can load up, drive where ever unload and cruise. I can haul lighter loads of lumber with my trailer when I dont feel like driving the big truck, take it to the races, you know all the ******* stuff us hillbillys do. I love it. It drives like a Lincoln, has a skinny steering wheel, vent windows, and it doesnt tell me what to do. Now heres the deal. I am a woodworker. I can design a radical staircase, or a custom door, or for that matter a whole house. Stripes on a van forget it, and I can not do photoshop. The running boards are gone, right after I took these pictures. I am lifting it three inches and switching it to four wheel,( I allready have all the parts ) Firestone Winter Force, 245-60-16 and old school Cragers or Tourque Thrust rims. It is going to be Wimbledon white with some kind of bronze stripes to tie in to the interior. What I want is a photoshop design so I can see what it will look like and give it to my body man to duplicate. Which ever design I use will get a 100.00 dollar gift certifacate for Don Rushs Cougar parts. Fair deal, doable? Let me know. Get your artistic juices flowing with a few cold ones and blow me away.:beer:
