crazyjim Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Today I completed my first Phantom van painted in HOK lime gold kandy over a planet green basecoat. I wanted to do something a little different, so I chopped 1 1/2" out of the middle of the body. I saved the plastic I removed and the second version will lengthened and probably have 2 rear axles. I just hate to waste plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eshaver Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Jim, you aren't' too far off from duplicating a van I knew years ago . A fellow whose name I forget now in the old Metro Van Club in Ft Wuthlass Texas did such a van , yep drove that evil ride on the street too! As I recall, his was "Resale " Red with a Black interior . Nice model ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_lever1 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) That is plain cool there also was a Chevy done up like that called Spaced Out and one of Ed's favorite a bullnose called Sqeeze box anyways right on looks color and 70's vibes. That fogged paint is pure custom van. Very nice my friend Edited October 8, 2013 by b_lever1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Now THAT is what I call a short van! That I guess is what Ford calls the runt of the litter!!! Nice work Jim!!! I can't wait until you do the 6 wheeler van. I need to get back on the one I started in 2009. Best of luck with yours, I'm looking forward to seeing how you build it!
