Foxer Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Excellent. Please tell me we will see this at MassCar. Unfortunately, Neil, I'm not going to be able to make MassCar this year ... too many commitments. It will be at NNL East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Neil Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Cool maybe will meet up at the NNL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing it at NNL East! I had fun watching you build it. Very cool build. Most folks don't realize what goes into making a beater look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryhagmansliver Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I gotta ask - how did you do the woodgrain around the center vent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I gotta ask - how did you do the woodgrain around the center vent? I just painted on a light wood color first and dry brushed a dark brown over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Awesome to see the finished project- it's even cooler than I imagined it would be... and I imagined it would be pretty cool to begin with!

Thanks, Chuck. I've had to go rescue the van up roads like the starting one in that video, only in denser woods. One time a flat tire up a deep woods dirt road with no spare, rain had just started and after having reminded her to block the wheels when on a jack the van toppled off the jack ... cause I didn't chalk the wheels!

george 53 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Dam Foxman, I had a GMC Beauville van the same dark blue, with a lighter blue band around the midsection. Wasn't till I saw pics of the dash that it hit me it was a GMC van! Somehow I had remembered it as a Chevy!. You did a HECKAVA job on this rascal! I'd be durned PROUD of this lil Bad Boy!

Foxer Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Sorry to bring this up again, but my daughter's Lab named Toby needed to join. Not the greatest paint job but this was my first figure and more just an experimentation. Edited July 8, 2017 by Foxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 This turned out fantastic. It was really nice to watch it come together, and you nailed the look. The rust holes, those black spots on the Drivers' side and everything else seems to be just there. This would make good Real Or Model.

charlie8575 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Gee, Mike, I'm sorry I missed this earlier. I need to scroll down to trucks more! That came out beautifully, and Toby looks pretty good, too. I do so wish I could make it to NNL this year, but when you have a guy who's been a friend since 7th grade getting married, well...priorities! I really do hope you can make it to either Classic Plastic or MassCar next year, or both. I would love to see that up-close and personal and finally have a chance to say hello.
