Several if not more months ago I got a wild hair and painted my beater van to look like the A-Team van. I wasn't sure if I'd like it (seeing as it's a Dodge not a GMC) so I didn't do a good job at all.
Well I have finally decided That I do indeed like it, so I'm going to sand it smooth and repaint it nicer. Also I've found a push bar for it that I will be getting tomorrow, and am going to pick up the little square lights for the roof and push bar. My big problem right now is the wing and fender flairs. I DO NOT want to blow nearly a grand for the wing and flairs, so I'm thinking I'll give a go at making them myself. Heck I have a welder and a plasma cutter now!
I'm thinking for the wing, I'll do a metal frame, shape it in foam (I'm good at making things out of foam) and then fiberglass it. same thing with foam and fiberglass for the fender flairs.
I've never done fiberglass before and am sure its a HUGE pain in the ass.
I'd also like to shave the damn conversion van windows, but I have slightly more experience with metal work than I do with fiberglass. (almost none)
So I can't decide if I'm here either here to Beg you to tell me not to do it, or to get support for my stupid ideas. lol
I will say this, If I found a nice GMC for the right price, I'd ditch the dodge quick and Buy all the real parts to make a killer van! But since that's not the case I'm playing with my little $600 turd.

Just paint most likely, since it'll likely be a more modern E250 or E350.
