Any idea if any interior work done in that van? You don't see too many vans out there custom like that so it's nice to see when one comes around. Maybe I appreciate vans b/c I took my driver's test in one and I work on wheelchair lifts in vans all day too

No updates, it's been pretty cold and lots of rain so no work is being done.

Dude x2 this weather sucks this time a year. At least we're not buried in snow though. I don't think I've touched mine since November

dv8customs · 02-14-2011, 03:49 PM

Okay, I am marking TEX MEX on my calendar for my first show this year. It is April 15-17 so not a whole lot of time to get some more work done. Weather is getting nicer so hope to have progress up soon...

**kev2809** · 02-14-2011, 04:44 PM

Haven't really thought that far ahead yet. I have a few ideas but nothing solid yet.

dv8customs · 02-18-2011, 12:02 PM

No build progress but I ordered a set of these to fab some new motor mounts

I'm thinking I am going to go with a wood bed. Hope to have something to show for that idea over the next couple weeks...

mooseknuckles · 03-04-2011, 12:29 PM

definately!...I want to do the same....

DiamondCactus · 03-04-2011, 02:06 PM

Thanks, it has been a long project and still has a long way to go.

dv8customs · 03-11-2011, 03:56 PM

Okay, I am planning to do a wood bed but I haven't yet decided on the stain color or the bed strips. Since the truck is currently black I am leaning towards black stain with unpolished SS strips. Once I get the truck painted I will redo the wood a more appropriate color. Any thoughts?

Conundrum · 03-11-2011, 07:17 PM

I would go with the black stain and leave it black after paint. Just my opinion.

dv8customs · 04-03-2011, 09:15 PM

Getting it back together for TexMex. Unfortunately it will still look just like it did at Turkey Drag.

Of course it's still has no engine so my buddy is going to tow it with his tow pig
