exesivefire Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 So I've been kicking around this crazy idea for a bit, I'm kinda planning as I go, as usual... Armed with a doodle, some measurements I scaled out in Illustrator and a spare cab from a previous (poor) build I got to work.. Oh and a ton of sheet styrene. The doodle.. Started by stripping the cab (amazingly the windows were painted and they look saveable too) I then set that on a set of Moebius semi wheels and Pegasus 23's to check and see where I was. then I got to work with a Xacto, a ruler and a bunch of .040 sheet.... Obviously a ton of work ahead, but I cant stop smiling.. this one should be FUN! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlotDaddy1963 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Very nice! I'm wondering what state specific decals you'll use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Now this is cool!Wonder what this will be haulin?You might consider Utah for the state design on the out side of the box and some salt flats views as well. I might be tempted to make up an imaginary state of my own like the state of "Confusion" and sticker bomb it with question marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I'm probably going with the generic older logos and stripes. Might even "remove" some. Keep in mind this is a late 80s early 90s body style, they were a little more simple then. Little weathering here and there too. Like someone bought it, bagged it and had some fun. I'm currently debating weather I want to have the rear open up or not.. I'm leaning towards doing so Edited May 1, 2015 by exesivefire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62pyro Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The logo should be "when you need to move in a hurry". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsxse240 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I love it. I have been eyeing a real Ryder van (Chevy G30) that's for sale here in OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacoballardtattoo Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This one I have to watch, I spent quite some time running a U-haul repair shop. Personally I hate the things but that's only the ones I had to repair constantly. Your build is looking great and the van box looks almost perfect.
