1992 Dodge W250 Cummins / VW Vanagon Abomination *MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS*

Are you gonna whack the yellow one to finish the body on the abortion?

I have another donor for the center half of the body. A pretty beat, brown 1984.

The yellow van has been my ride since birth. Dad bought it before I was born. I learned to drive in it. It is my daily driver. Also about to be featured in it's second magazine!

I killed my "forever" car, now I'm an automotive sociopath. I can destroy anything. I have no feelings...

Today's task was to remove the body from the dodge frame, and get it mocked up on a flat and level surface. The body was spaced 12" apart and then clamped.

The time has come, friends...let's dissect another Vanagon together ?

As others have pointed out, this is ugly, but very very cool. Bar napkin or not it looks like you have actually thought this through. I like it.

 

[Superpanga]

The whole thing is just awesome.

Very cool build! My grandfather did something somewhat similar years ago. In 1983 he purchased a brand new Chevrolet P30 motorhome chassis with a 6.2L diesel and TH400 tranmission; just a chassis with no body. He then scoured the salvage yards looking for body ideas. He ended up taking a Dodge full-size van and cutting it down in length to make a cab, took two Chevy square-body beds to make a wider fleetside bed to cover the dually axle (he didn't want fender flares like on traditional dually beds), and then filled in the gaps with various other body parts, including Ford Escort headlights, a Pontiac grille, custom-made hood, and custom-made wind deflectors. It was quite an aerodynamic rig for 1980's standards.
