The Japanese Convert JDM Boxes Into American Iron
Apparently, the custom van fad of the '70s never died in Japan. But what if you want all the style of a vintage American full-size, but you need the efficiency and small size of a Japanese econobox? Well, do what these guys did, and convert the front end to look just like a Dodge or Chevy Van. Auto-Otaku found these custom creations at the Japanese Mooneyes Street Car Nationals, a gathering of all kinds of American iron in the land of the rising sun. Besides the vans, there were also a couple JDM rides transformed into old Chevy Suburbans, as seen above. [via Auto-Otaku]

I didn't realize that these pics were from 2008. Here's some 2010 coverage (but no JDM -> US conversions): http://speedhunters.com/archive/tags...0/default.aspx
