  1. you captured the details of a daily driver perfectly - nice work!
  2. I like this. I agree the red-oxide primer works well on this build. Looks like something you might actually see cruising around the streets.
  3. Good work and coming together nicely.
  4. AFX, I like what you did...it's nice, simple and very clean. Good work.
  5. I like it. Awesome resource (bookmarked for when I get to my Ford P/U kit).
  6. Not all in one sitting, but about 3 cheese burgers, 1 hotdog, scoops of potato salad and chips (what a day).
  7. 426 Pack, That's a nice truck! Good luck with her. You know what I got to...dump the cats litterbox, followed by a chance to use my crappy power washer and clean a garbage can for tomorrows picnic. What a wonderful day! LOL
  8. I'm liking this already. Reminds me of a truck I would see at this farm when I was kid...it was that classic Ford faded maroon/red. Any plans on a color for your build?
  9. 76 Chevy Van (A-Team kit) 7/3/19 update With the P2P on hold I decided to focus on this build, since the A-Team kit offers an option to build it is a Chevy I decided to go that route (76 to be exact – based on the dashboard in the kit). I had a “blueprint” in my head, when "Vans" were chosen as the subject. So with only recently getting started, here are some of my changes and progress… Bottom of body (all casting marks, extra holes filled etc. ) & light texture painted (flat black). Frame stock cross-members removed/new-members installed, leaf springs removed/new rear – air adj sys will be built. Frame smoothed out, filled, primed, sanded numerous times and pained gloss black. While waiting for things to dry, I’ve been working on the body too. The upper and lower trim have been removed (still needs some perfection). Installed new rain gutters/smoothed to roof. Work to continue. The engine was fitted during frame assembly and if this were I real van I think it would make a real world good choice.
