Van smashed by train 'evolved' wild

[topcat1007]

SICK!!!

[noble1528]

dude i like what you did with the doors on it

[skylerwickedvan]

@noble1528 Thank you. I wanted to do something to the doors that was never done before (as wild as the van itself)

[noimadfritz]

It looks hard core.. I thought it had huge fenders lol but it was the illusion given by the paint job.. The grill looks menacing... And the whole van looks like it's going to transfer and say I AM MAGATRON!......lol

[skylerwickedvan]

@noimadfritz Its not an illusion or the paint... The van has 3 tiers from the metal fabrication Ive done. Im hard core- theres not music thats too heavy for me.

You can tell I am a big Transformers fan!

[Zolatour]

pretty intense

[TiteProducts]

Van:1 Train:0

[ho33es]

do you have pictures or a video of what it looked like after the freight train hit it?

[skylerwickedvan]

@ho33es Yes. I have a new video up now under 'See van turn Radical after hit by train'

[SithDuelist45]

First off gotta say im glad it was a chevy and not some ford econoline! secondly great idea with the front grill and head lights, it deffinantly has a "im going to tear your head off and eat your brains" look to it. mind if bite off it a little bit? right now im making a star wars/sci fi themed van. its an 88 g30. i just put a magnaflow exhaust system on it, now im lookin to put a cold air intake. is it possible to fit a supercharger and blower on a full sized work van?

[Camarospeed420]

hey man! havent seen you in years! Keep this van rockin man!

-chris

[skylerwickedvan]

@Camarospeed420 Thanks. Im sure we will meet again. I wont ever sell the van. Theres too much blood and sweat into into it. I still take it to shows

[muddeagle]

too bad you blew all that money on a chevy more money tgan brains club

[BIGDAWG5711]

lol i think u have to much time on ur hands dude

[skylerwickedvan]

@AtholAnderson It wasnt. The train guy seen me stuck on the tracks and hit the brakes. The train slowed down but not enough or not in time to hit the van at about 10mph (enough to fling it 180 degrees and about 20 feet away from the tracks) Major passenger side- front end and frame damage.

But nothing I couldnt fix. Its still on the road today since the reconstruction in 2002 without a problem. Its my daily driver (except rain or snow- I wanna keep it clean)

[XIIISyns]

Looks like a Decepticon! hahaha

To be honest, loved the car, the inside was spectacular, but it needs different paint. It's just too off with a bodystyle like this. I'd probably try flat black, or wet black, and highlight around the grill to make it look like it is severely pissed, like airbrush some foam at the mouth or breathing fire out the sides of its mouth. But that's just me. Still, kudos to you and your wicked van. I'd drive it. xD

[trx1961]

nice paint, wild looking but cool

[foofermoe]

all the money spent on conversion , think you could have got yourself a tripod????

[skylerwickedvan]

Thats right, Im broke. No, just kidding- but it is a good idea.

I didnt spend as much as you think redoing it. I did it all myself. My biggest expenses were sheet metal and welding wire

[suicidewarpig]

like the back windows

[skylerwickedvan]

I tried mounting them like- mad eyes...

[scoobydog411]

I like your wild paint job . I bet it took alot of time to think it up. I have 2 old vans in doing .

[SoundwaveX7]

Kickass custom van you built, then rebuilt. <3 :)

[dwoodsy11]

holy shit, good job

[skylerwickedvan]

Thanks!

[fitzpantsenson]

wow man. wasn't the frame totaled though?

[skylerwickedvan]

...a small part of the front passenger- side frame was. But Its been cut out and replaced along with other stuff

[5dmc1]

wow thats evil looking

[iejon]

try to bring the truck to the usa i will go to see it

[skylerwickedvan]

Thanks. I go to shows in Pennsylvania, the state I live in...

[harshbuttrue01]

thats awesome nice job

[skylerwickedvan]

thank you

[vogtb304]

nice, but it probably has a salvage title

[skylerwickedvan]

wrong... It was never reported to the insurance company because I replaced all damaged parts myself. I used another van of the same year. It was flawlessly done because its been on the road for over SEVEN years now without a single problem

[XxGlamisDunerxX]

frame damage?

[skylerwickedvan]

Yes, minor... But it was cut out and replaced along with other fender pieces. I used a hydraulic ram to straighten everything perfect. Pictures of that on my site

[RainbowsEatUreSoul]

its an autobot...i know it..

[skylerwickedvan]

...too evil looking. It'd have to be a decepticon

[grahame316]

yeh i know itd be a cool stunticon

[YodzillaFactor7]

I agree, it would make an awesome stunticon.

[snower5554]

dude. coolest van ever

[turkey292]

that was awsome i want one

[ThirstySkunk910]

dude i want a hot wheels car of can you get one of hot wheels for your icon!!!

[skylerwickedvan]

Ive had other people say that... I dont know where to begin, but thats an excellent idea. There are many people that I know that want them! Thanks!

If theres anyone out there who knows how to get that done, please let me know

[trogdor3e]

dude coolest van i have ever seen

[skylerwickedvan]

You have great taste, buddy. Its perfect in my eyes too. My friends say Hotwheels should made a matchbox copy of it. Thats cool with me if I got somethin out of it...

[skylerwickedvan]

Thank You, friend!

[Potatonaught]

lol sick grills man

[marshallspikebanana]

Cool!! Can you build me one of those grills!?! You know, for when the Zombies come......

[skylerwickedvan]

Should I have fabricated 2 sets of teeth for it instead? Na... I think this design is more classy. right?

[marshallspikebanana]

Its awesome. But if you decide to make another, it would be great if you went with stainless steel teeth. Flamethrowers also...

[domeworm]

badly put together video.

[skylerwickedvan]

I do metal fabrication... not video fabricaion

[Italia898]

lol

[GJGRIFFITHS0628]

hey can you pimp my ride lol only jokin mate thats really good stuff

[HeavenlyCourage]

You sure are good at it, really good. But if I were you, I would prefer to keep the old and build the new at the same time, not like you had a choice...

[skylerwickedvan]

Thanks. I guess you saw my website. The before version of this van was too mild for me. I dont miss it much, honestly...

[saintnicks]

Looks SICK!

How did it get hit by a train?

[skylerwickedvan]

...trying to cross railroad tracks where I didnt belong. It got pinned between the rails. I tried to free it by rocking it back and fourth but ran out of time and jumped out 10 seconds before it hit.

[xX53preble53Xx]

this is why we borrow a friends vehicle for that lol jk jk

[skylerwickedvan]

It didnt turn out to be such a bad occurance. If It didnt get hit, I wouldnt have rebuilt it into this Radical one-of-a-kind custom van! and never would have made the transforming monster. Im actually happy it got hit and I spent all the time rebuilding it.

[xX53preble53Xx]

i can understand that

[Ozzyy]

how badly did the train jack it up?

[skylerwickedvan]

The passenger side front end had to be cut out and replaced. Check out the pictures on the website...

[Xebers76]

You are tha MAN!!!!

[ChevyV8Maniac]

nice

[skylerwickedvan]

Is it hard to believe that this van was hit by a freight train? Its true... You can check how it looked after the wreck on the website.

[battlestroke7]

Dude,you are an awesome talent.

[skylerwickedvan]

Excellent, Thanks friend!
