Van on the Run, updated photo links


Recommended Posts

Inspired by but not an exact copy of a van I found on the inter-webs. The original is a groovy little Econoline but I used the Jimmy Flintstone Dodge A-100 van with a LRW. The stuff I've ordered from Jimmy Flintstones web site has been ok but I got this from Model Round Up and I wonder if he is sending them the less than desirable castings. This one took hours of sanding and 4 coats of primer to get it half way smooth. I have also heard somebody is making an Econoline or Falcon van body that works with the LRW chassis. I sure would like a couple of those. Enough talk, Pictures;

The inspiration,

I might go back some day and make some nerf bars and replace the bumpers.

CB, tape deck, and EQ for the overhead console. I wish I had an 8 track.
