Here is the final bolt insert showing the clearance of the main D ring pin.

Nice project you have going there! I happen to be fan of A- Team vans (done right). The new movie version is pretty sweet. I hope everything turns out like you want. Good luck with it, and hope to see it when it's done.

So I just got the winch wired up. Ran 4 gauge wiring all to the interior for a remote battery.

So, I have a heavy duty isolator to separate the starting battery and the remote deep cycle gel cell battery (150 cold cranking amps).

So now I will run the aux wiring from the remote battery to the roof light bar, and the front two pairs of driving/fog lamps.

For the winch, I brought the switch inside the dash up to the left side air vent - and I'll just make a little plate to control from inside for the convenience.

Wiring up remote switch later for keychain use.

Pics soon!

Picked up the bumpers this weekend, had everything all finished up in a gloss powdercoat black. It looks amazing.

Just bolted everything back on with new stainless hardware, gave the van a nice sunny wash, and finished bolting all the brackets, hooks, fairlead, hook, and lights on.

Im perfectly happy that after all this time (1 year 3 months) it is finally finished. Took a lot of a lot. Time, work, money, everything- but it turned out just how I wanted and the first time I hit the store with her black and sassy, people were asking me about it and complimenting how nice the van looked.

Here are some pictures of the finished piece...

Wow, that looks great. May have took some time but well worth it.

looks great. now you just cruise it around and enjoy. I've been working on my van for over 3 years now and still not finished so I think you got it done pretty quickly.

It's cool that you are going to the lengths necessary to make an accurate copy. I like the A-Team van but I hate to see lame copies. Keep up the good work.

I do too. I am not deviating from anything in the slightest, and any I do, I think I will be one of the few to know.

Im trying to think of the cost because Its been a while doing this whole project:

Bull Bar/Winch Mount Fab- 550
Winch- 260
Hook- 100 (25 +75 for Chrome)
Tow Rings: 100
Bumper Inserts- 85
Powdercoating- 225
Machining work- 110
Hardware- 95
Fairlead- 40
KC Slimlites- 220


Grand Total of $1785.00

Maybe next time it will be cheaper with my own shop and machining tools.
Still have to hook up the lights, and polish it up a bit, but that and the rear bumper are all done now.

I also just ordered my custom license plates:

Vanther...
