Some Before Pictures

I was going to take my 1989 van in today for some body work but it was pouring and I needed to run some errands so I will have to wait until next week.

Last week, I got an estimate to strip all the old paint, take care of any rust (including popping out the side windows), and then have it shot with a new paint job. When it is all done it will be "steel blue pearlcoat" a Chrysler color, OEM code "PBQ" or PPG# 5576.

I just thought I would share some before pictures that I took this morning...

Lookin' good! Any plans for a set of wheels? Can't have a nice new paint job with stock hubcaps! ;)

Thanks VanMan! I have my eyes on a set of wheels by Cragar. It may be some time before I get them because after the paint job I am going to be short on $$$. The paint job was a priority because the van was rusting and I wanted to stop that before it began to rot.

I attached a picture of the wheels I want.

Johnnybroc, I photochopped your wheel selection for you, so you get an idea what it looks like....

Thanks! That looks pretty nice! I may have to drink a few less beers this month to save up for those.

Rims would look good with MUCH bigger tires. A van needs some MEAT
