Was feeling ambitious last night, so she’s almost ready for paint:

Pulled my roof basket off last night. I pulled the front fairing off and got it prepped for my friend to airbrush ( excited to see what he comes up with ).

Got my faulty MAP sensor changed, so now she is running like a top again.

Pulled my push bar off, then removed the lights, and got it sanded out. Once it was sanded I figured why not and primed/sealed it. Once that had tacked I figured I better get some paint on it or I’ll have to sand it again, so on went the black:

I laid 3 coats of Jet Black, then I laid on some clear:

Was getting pretty dark by this time, so I cleaned up my mess and went in for the night.

Tonight we will have 6 yds of mulch to move, so I’ll probably be on hold, but we’ll see.

I’m to the point now I may take a couple days off work and get it ready/painted in the next week, I’m excited to see it complete.

This is a thing that I am simultaneously impressed by, confused by, and am glad it's here to witness. God speed, sir

I’m glad I could impress you, confuse you, and make you glad all in one vehicle. ;)

I wish it was dry enough here to paint things.  We have had two solid weeks of rain.  It is supposed to be dry this weekend.  *fingers crossed*

Or you could add some armor plating, a flamethrower, and wheel spikes. Then you’d have a zombie slaying apocalypse-mobile.

Just saying.

What’re the specs for the wheels/tires and lift? This build has always fascinated me and I wish to know more.

The wheels are stock 14" Dodge Spirit alloys, refinished black. The tires are 27 x 8.5 x 14 General Grabber ATXs. The lift is 2" blocks in the rear, custom made 1.25" strut spacers up front (which amount to about 1.9" of lift). https://oppositelock.kinja.com/prototype-complete-1831586812

I did the bar outside in the driveway because it was supposed to be nice for a while. I’ll paint the van in a garage so I don’t have to worry about it.

The rear shocks are KYBs from a Chevy Uplander minivan.
