Thanks for the feedback Slusher, I've seen several of you great builds, never disappointed. Agree with your belief, I give thanks for my accomplishments.

Wanted to show a couple of details. This is the inside of the sliding door, used double-sided tape to attach fabric, the lower slide pin is plastic rod inserted into the door, the upper is 18ga wire inserted into plastic tube.

One of the fun things was assembly of the 3 piece door mirror, but they turned out ok. I drilled the door to insert the upper arm (had to trim it to get the vertical alignment) and just let lower arm rest against the door.  Changed to spare tire from the earlier photo, used old wheel and drilled out center to fit cover hub instead of supplied half cover.  Finished tire mount Molotow over gloss black.

The mufflers are from parts bin, the exhaust are solder from the trans mount and drilled at the end with homemade brackets.  Had to cut the shroud drastically to install from the top after fitting body to chassis.  You can see the lower door pin and where it slides under floor pan.

Here's couple shots of the finished van, the rest will be in completed section.

Hope you enjoyed looking as much as I did building. Thanks for the feedback comments, they helped.
