Yay for progress!, while I was sleeping my van turned into an Oldsmobile!











The best kit I have ever had the privilege of messing about with, going with curbside so I can use the engine and stuff on other projects, maybe a hotrod, the engine is far too wonderful to hide away.

Thinking between dark green or fluro orange, those would clash nicely with the chrome I rekon. Blame Dr Cranky and all those awesome model builders featured in his book for this project-jumping Iv been doing

The vans giving me the poopies, still trying to get the front end 'right'. So I pulled this out and just started hacking at it... The inspiration is a scratch-built trike/chopper I saw in the scratchbuilding thread a while ago... Going for a deco-steampunky look, its TINY compared to the van, which is just what I need I rekon.

Done ages ago, it was my first ever completed hotrod, I was pleased with it back then

Im planning another hotrod buils in the coming weeks, so it'll be interesting to see how far Ive come lol

Cheers, kc.

Hi everyone, Mopar68 and myself are doing a couple of builds to get back into the habit of building and finishing stuff, here's what I picked- a 77 Chevy Van. All Ill say is that Mopar68 made me chop it up and ill let the pics do the rest of the talking

[EDIT]: Some elaboration, I'm going to be adding trips across the front of the van's replaced front end, making the front arches much smaller, possibly moving them back a few mm. Im looking at pictures of old flat-faced compact vans, and Im set on making it a double-headlight set-up, other than that im stuck for ideas on a grill assembly.... Some input from you guys would be awesome
