Shelbytona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I started on this build friday and got it done quick! a lot of hours went into it and i'm very happy with how it turned out. The paint has tons of red metal flake and it's been clear coated three times to bury the flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOSWELL891 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow that's cool I may just have to get this kit after seeing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbytona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks guys! it is definitely a tricky model to assemble... especially when it comes to the chassis parts and those three piece side mirrors! overall it's a great kit and worth getting just for the two sheets of decals!

David G. Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Nailed it! Everything looks great, right down to the fake side pipes. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ya done real good sir ! Nice to see a customized van on this board ............ Truck onward. Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscool Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That van is happenin' as we used to say in the 70s. Just as I remember them. Is it OOB or did you add some "accessories"? I also remember most of them having the side pipes like those that weren't hooked up. Nice gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Really cool!One question;why didn't you connect the side pipes to the headers and delete the stock muffler set up? Like this Tom Daniel California Vette! Edited February 20, 2012 by philo426 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbytona Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for all the compliments! The dash actually fit good on mine.. You had troubles? The steering tie rods were too long to attatch to the knuckle tho, and hooking it up was tricky! I just built it box stock (no mods) so the side pipes are dummy ones. Like Gerald said, some were fake back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ok! I seem to remember that fake side pipes were available for a cool look without having to hook them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
