radicalran: I didnt know there was 2 BB pro street Astros by Toledo. I wouldnt mind seeing them.

Not sure about the cargo net, but it does finish off the sorta stock looking interior.

worked on the exhaust heat shields, it is taped on, still needs a little filing before final mounting.

Man that looks sweet!!
I like that you didn't tear out the whole interior and kept it as stock looking as possible. I've seen a lot of pro street cars that someone has cut away most of the interior and the sheet metal out of the doors and only shaved but a few pounds off the total weight
Great work!!

Shoot! 6 inches, that 4x4 territory It does look badass though!

Bigair: Thank you. Keep it some what stock looking is the goal, any body can cut up a vehicle, it putting it back together that is the hard part. It has caused a lot of extra work, had to make a few trips to PnP for interior pieces. Fitting pieces around the roll bar was a biotch, but it was worth it.

drag: Thank you. My 85 pro street Astro (RIP), the header flanges and deep tranny pan would hit some times. This Astros deep tranny pan is not as thick and front bumper hangs down farther, just not worth damaging stuff. If it wasnt street driven & Michigan didnt have some of the worst roads in the country, would be different.

Custom fuel tank done

side view, bottom is angled for a built in sump

installed

fill tube and vent, will be cover with trim and a carpet tunnel

fuel filler, later on will be replace with a flush pop out door, this will do for now

Finished gas filler, it is a boat filler, wouldnt rust.

Put some gas in it, started rite up after building fuel pressure. Just need to do exhaust and a few little things, will be cruisin by the weekend.

Awesome!

Wow, that looks great. Must have been nice to hear it come to life.

Yep, awesome to hear it run.
Took it to car wash for a badly needed bath.
Took a few pictures, soory it was hazy and gloomy this morning.
New front end, went from an Astro sealed beam to a composite Safari, with a billet grille & Chevy bowtie


I think I will be raising rear end up 1 hole, about 2 inches, could use some rake.

Looks great!!! I love the grill and obviously the van sits right. I am impressed. Great job!
