  • The crazy yellow van is getting a facelift. Last time Stacey showed off a few different grille options that could work with these older vans. It’s good riddance to that clunky plastic face, and hello to some real steel. But with every modification, there are bound to be a couple of roadblocks. But this is a rocking van, and just like the A-Team, roadblocks are something vans were meant to break through. Hang on tight, 'cause Stacey’s gonna show you what it takes build your own brackets to relocate the headlights and keep them fully adjustable and serviceable with OEM parts. What’s more, taking care of these mods is just the beginning. The van craze is Back! And just like Mr. T. used to say, "we pity the fool that don’t watch this vantastic episode!"

      Yes those were the days ! Used to go out early before the shows started; grab a coffee and a couple of egg sandwiches. Then enjoy 2 hours of car/truck education and enjoyment ..... Especially going back to the 90's. TNN....SPEED channels !!

    Always loved the show, it's one for real at home gear heads. I'm building a 77 dodge maxivan with a built big block 440. Once I get everything done right mechanically I have a ton of old 70s nos parts that my dad and I have tracked down over the last couple of years. Also going to try my hand at a handmade stainless grill

    I couldn't afford a new vehicle 20 years ago, certainly can't do it now. Stacy inspired me to learn how to fix my vehicles back from the Trucks! days.

    Great episode. Even as an experienced auto enthusiast I'm still left corrected by Stacey. I sometimes think "no don't do that" but then when he finishes I think..."ok definitely the right choice".

    I'm currently backdating the grille on my 1978 G20 with a grille from a 1974. This video was nice to watch before hand to give a little idea what is involved. Great job on the modifications. JC.

    I'd use the factory bumper still. Pie cut the center along the top surface edge and 2in. of the bottom roll giving a more angular look matching the factory grill and tucks in the ends closer to the fenders for a more flush appearance to go along with the bodywork mentioned earlier in the vid.

  • @jamesbaker5605
    @jamesbaker5605 Před rokem +1

    I have the same van that had the grill already installed but the headlights and turn signals are still stock 79 didn't have the bezels though need to find those then i will be using your exact method. Love it thanks.

    The Stacey I grew up watching and idolizing would have painted the grill, mounted the parking lights and bumper! I like the advertisement segment, just wished it was shorter than the wrenching segment.
