Viperfanboy Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm really liking this project, it's not your typical hot rod or muscle car build you see. Very different and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Wolfman Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Looks great. I wondered what you would do with the passanger side slideing door. That would make a great "TAIL GATE" party van for a Football game. Does anyone know how one might make a sliding door work? I ask because I bought this van when it first came out, but have not yet decided what to do with it. I would like to build a working door! Great inspiration for me, Stuart. Things lookin' great! Thanks for sharing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stulee11 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 last one... i have been also trying to work on the door panels, BUT i did a rather silly thing and glued it on then decide to do the filler work lol... which has made this side rather impossable to sand down nic... but i have learnt from that misstake and i am doing the other side off the door lol... but as most of you all say every model is a learning curve. door panel on as you can see its rather messy but i have learnt a valuble lesson this time!!!! hope you all like the way this is turning out and stick along for the ride. thanks for looking in. stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
