I take my hat off to you pat, the work you have
put into your van is incredible,
will it go through a seven foot width restriction.
how wide is it at the rear arches.
congratulations on the job so far i like your
thinking on the side & rear doors,
hope to see you & van at Transit mania next
year if i can make it.
