Exclamation Custom 89/02 FE-350 4x4 (Merging tips and ideas are helpful.)

QUESTION: "Harlan, why do you not stick to hobbies and projects that are not either outrageously mad, or incredibly dangerous?"
-My Friends

ANSWER: "I do what makes me happy. The more one does not believe in my vision, and say it cannot work...the more determined I become. Not to prove to you or anybody else that I "could". I do it, because I know that "I can". -Harlan

My goal is a full tilt front end and never before seen look. Without it looking like crap... I know it can be done. I am 3 days into it with about a week to go I figure...

Any tips or ideas are appreciated since this was just a wild off the cuff idea and bodywork is new to me.

It is my long held belief that insanity is a virtue! You'll have the only one out there that's for sure, I'll stay tuned to see how it turns out!

I think it would look pretty cool with the "dent" body line filled in.

I agree! weld in a filler plate and finish off with some fiberglass fill to smooth out the look and bring the hood assembly and body together seamlessly.

Van looks great, awesome project!

Going to be watching this one.

me thinks you either have too much time on you hands, or should be locked up in a padded room.
