dodge van , comple makeover


Recommended Posts

well i was lazy and decided to play around with some paints ....

after some tryes with yellow and other washes i painted the wole body in aluminium zink spray (real alu layer).

the after that dryed i painted the whole body red and with a cloth and some thinner wiped of the red until i got this result..

the alu spray is almost indestructible so the thinner didnt affect that..

the chevy rear bumper i molded ont the van a bit but not perfect so it looked a bit rough still ...

not finished btw >

the today after looking at the van the front looked like ..... so i cut the lower section off added a chevy front bumper and masked it and gave that the same threatment with alu spray and red .. added some bullets between the headlights

so its now a dovy van ?? or a chedge van

where you look on the wood there will be a added strip to close it up

Cool build. Definitely following this one. I decided to go the ultra tacky 70s route with mine as I kinda dig that funky retro 70s stuff anyway. I really like the direction you're going with your kit though.

Yer a nut Richard hahaha but I like it. I drove my dads '76 for years after spending half my teenage years in it. One of these days I'll build it in scale. Tried to years ago but I didn't haz no skillz then.

I used to have a 1977 Dodge Sportsman 300 extended wheelbase van. It was two tone blue and I bought it in 1986 to use in my new home renovation. I paid $600 for it because it ran really lousy. The old owner had put the wires back on in the wrong order. Once fixed, it ran fine for the two years I owned it. A buddy o mine borrowed it and blew the motor. Still, I sold it for $850!
