Update: Thanks to CdtWeasel and Ripper...I realized some elements I thought I couldn't eliminate, but tried anyway and found ways around them. So now it's as 80's oriented as possible, with the exception of the California license plates. Thanks, guys!
We have all seen the van online and some have seen it in stores (first time for me was tonight), but as I was watching a random episode (or 5) of A-Team, it seems a...bit...off. Rims: They are supposed to be red, NOT black. Cell Phone Antenna: Needed. Lights: flood lights relocated and 2 were added. 4 out of the 8 non-working lights are now yellow. Those minor modifications made it as classic as I can get it (I know I could have used the rectangle lights, but didn't feel like completely tearing apart my 2nd van.) Anyway, enjoy! The example is obviously the first pic. Last edited by M. Aster Karver; 06-05-2010 at 02:49 AM.. |

Its great you took the time to accurately custom the van! You did a fine job matching the new to the old!
However, for my tastes I enjoy the black rims better. The lack of an antennae doesn't bug me either.

And I do intend on buying a 3rd one tomorrow to keep in the box. I know it's the 2010 version, but after 5 seasons and many years of seeing the van with red rims and OG cell antenna, I knew that was something I could actually achieve!
My thanks though, everyone |

The tires are rubber so they come off and on easily. I just did the outside of them for the red to black depth illusion.

It does look good with the red rims. If they hit clearance I will pick up at least one to do that too.
Notice from the photo that the original van lacks the roll bar behind the glareshield, that the new one has. If you decide to remoe that, let me know. My van was missing it and it bugs me to no end.
