Foxer Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) It's been a long haul but the last piece went on My Daughter's GMC Van today. She had this monster during school in the '90's and her take on a Hippie Van traveled to many a Grateful Dead event. I made it from an A-Team kit with many a modification, including cut out side windows, opening rear doors, reconfigured dash and console, 8 lug wheels (by Ryan Silva), interior side panels, hand sewn bean bag chair and many more. You can see all at the "work in progress here". Edited August 10, 2017 by Foxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrecker388 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Wow, that is extremely cool! I love the display base too. I'm quite surprised your daughter didn't try to murder you when you gave her the keys! Edited March 14, 2013 by wrecker388 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
