Someone like to amaze my dad? He gets all tickled that we have the technology to do stuff like photoshop vehicles.....

Here's the deal:

Lower the front down to an inch of tire between the wheel and the fender.

Lower the back less, maybe three inches of black showing.

Two tone it....black on bottom, silver on top.

Shaved the handles, cuz they're ugly... couldn't get the silver color right, but there, you got the idea!

Now that would look good.. do i smell srt-4 conversion?

quicksilvr · Post by **quicksilvr** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 7:19 pm

Thanks Opi! But. I don't like the black on there at all. Can you leave it all white and just drop it? And maybe do a super drop too where the wheels are almost tucking......

01rtgurl · Post by **01rtgurl** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 12:36 am

K. My turn haha.

First requested:

Little lower, no black:

Ubertuck FTW!

I say: keep it white, maybe paint the handles white. Are those mirrors stock?? Maybe different mirrors lol? White ones? hehe. Color match the grill (no chrome), clear corners up front.

This one's for your dad--clear corners, handles painted silver to match the front/rear bumper accent strip, and a shorty antenna. Oh yea, and uber slammed again.

Okay folks, sorry that it has taken me so long to thank you all for having fun with my van. Yes, I am the "dad"..... quicksilvr is my first born.

I like 01rtgurl's "first request" with the two-tone charcoal and silver. Nice. I am convinced, though, that when I freshen the exterior, I will be going back with all white, with body color door handles.

Observation..... I browsed through a couple of pages of these photo shop requests..... It seems that 01rtgurl is the one with all the skill. Does she do this type of work for her day job too??

And to answer oklamopar's question..... I am looking for a good deal on a SRT-4 engine/transaxle assembly, complete with all of the engine mounted assessories. A pre-existing big turbo upgrade would be nice too.

Mmmmm...sexy

I love turbo C/V vans! I so wanted a '89 2.5 Turbo 5sp black C/V. The only flash it had was the "ES" wheels (factory). Had one come into the dealership years ago. Guy would not sell it

Anyway, I digress. This is one project where I would recommend a Town & Country grill (but painted white like the later ones). Would look sweet IMO

Hey Dan, I taught myself Photoshop in high school, became a parts person at autozone, moved up to a car shop parts person, got promoted to being their graphic designer (mainly doing ads for magazines [dupont registry] and concept vehicle renderings... using photoshop). They went out of business 2 years ago and now I'm doing engineering work. So technically, I don't do it for my day job anymore. I'd love to, but for any graphic design jobs you need a "graphic design" degree, which I do not have (graduating in may with a BS in technology).

Glad you liked em

01rtgurl, Thanks for the great follow up note. And, again, I appreciate your skill with the computer. Best of luck to you as you graduate...

B.S. in Technology...?? Which kind of technology? Mechanical? Electrical? Civil? Graphics?

Also, turbodudey let me have his avatar, and he found a different one.

This avatar is currently 64x48. It would be awesome if it was 100x75. Help...??

TurboVanDan · Post by **TurboVanDan** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 12:28 pm

I edited a previous post, which I then realized was not the best way to post my new question. I am now asking the question in a new post so that it is more noticeable.

Turbodudey let me have his avatar, and he found a different one.

My avatar is currently 64x48, but it would be great if is was 100x75. Help...??

TurboVanDan · Post by **TurboVanDan** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 10:01 pm

If anyone is reading this thread, you can ignore (continue to ignore

) my last post. I'm pretty sure that turbodudey can take care of my avatar for me. Thanks...!!

Understood. I'm sure that you will figure something out.

Have you actually wrecked a Viper...?? Curious......

did u have fitment issues wit da srt4 rims turbovandan? im trying to find out cuz a coworker wants some rims and if my srt4 rims fit him they will b his

TurboVanDan · Post by **TurboVanDan** » Fri May 02, 2008 2:16 am

The SRT-4 wheels did bolt right on to my van with the standard, stainless steel capped, Neon lug nuts.

But you need to know this very important detail...

Almost all first, second, and third generation Chrysler minivans (1986 - 2000) used two different wheel bolt patterns. (1984 and 1985 are the only two model years that used only the small bolt pattern.) The minivans that came from the factory with 15 inch wheels used the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. The minivans that came from the factory with 14 inch wheels used the 5x100 bolt pattern.

My 1992 van was a factory 14 inch wheel van. Meaning that the SRT-4 wheels, which have a 5x100 bolt circle, bolted right on.

I am pretty sure that the fourth generation and up minivans (2001 on) just use the larger 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Which means that SRT-4 wheels will NOT fit.

Hope that this helps. Have a great evening!

I am not getting email notifications from this site, sorry.
I did "wreck" one kinda on a roadcourse (Nelson Ledges in Garrettsville). I didn't adjust the pedals when I took it around for a lap so the clutch was waaaaaaay down, and the gas was way close to me and I think when I rev matched (at a low speed!!), well, it wasn't a rev match, it was more gas than was necessary. Spun the thing around in about .0001 seconds and I had no clue and went right off the track into the grass and cracked up the crazy expensive from bumper/splitter (autoform with dual fogs like the ORECA racecars).. but yeah, the owner let me take it around again but then after that my boss (his brother) wouldn't even let me move it around in the parking lot at work

TurboVanDan · Post by **TurboVanDan** » Tue May 06, 2008 12:37 am

Whoa...

Nelson Ledges, huh. I have never been there, but I am familiar with the track due to reading Car and Driver magazine for the past 25 years. I envy you for getting some track time there. Were you there on a "Fun Day" or do you have "connections"?

Sucks to spin out. In a Viper. And bump your nose. Rats.

Anyway, hope you get a shot at some more track time. It's the best kind of fun.
