It's maybe a little rollerskate-y for me, and staggered 255s and 275s sitting just a tiny bit proud of the body would be a tremendous improvement, but otherwise it's just about perfect.
So, this is a weird one. With the trend of automakers reusing sports car and and say sport sedan names for SUVs, Ford has named one of their new vans the Tourneo. A name once used by Honda for their JDM Accord based variant spelled Torneo.

Interior and exterior. You could even get [fake] side pipes at dealerships.
Is that a Nagare era 5? Because the body panel sculpting presents an interesting opportunity for custom paint. Then I think a decal inspired by that of the Street Van (the original is probably too big) could look right at home under the mirrors.
Basically the entirety of my morning workout I was thinking about how even on the wildest of customs I have never seen a '70s van with hidden hinges. There's probably a reason for that beyond "didn't think of it" but man it seems like it would be so worth the effort to clean up the side of it. Keep the external hardware (maybe switch to central locking and only keep the handles) but smooth out the gaps.
Also it's so rare to see a B-van with the front spoiler but no flares. I love it. And the painted "DODGE" inside the grille is a nice touch, even if removing it entirely may be better. Later vans didn't have grille letters but I do understand the appeal of the '71-3 fascia.
