The front suspension is grom Motobitz here in UK. I thought it looked like Mt Torque when I first sat it on its wheels! -

No I'm going to open the hood. -
Here is my newest WIP. Revell Thames panel van with the chassis cleaned up of the old gasser suspension and then braced up. The rear axle is from a 32 Ford which has been narrowed. The front is a IFS from Motobitz. The wheels and tyres are from the parts box with the rears using the 32 backs. Still got to finish off the rear suspension and then start the engine mounts for the small block Ford I'm using Thanks for looking Lee

Here is my custom Chevy van. Started by smoothing out the rear and removing the lights and number plate mount and created a new rear light. I then made a new front valence and slightly reduced the size of the grille. opening and making a new grille. I then made it into a short wheelbase version and made the arch extensions and new sills to take the sidepipes. I also made the front spoiler so it connects to the front arches. Now in primer and few spots to sort and then to paint. Thanks for looking Lee

Here is my version of the Atlantis Topolino. Quite a bit of modifying parts to get things to fit. I had to make my own pedals and chute mount and rear shocks and mounts. Also modified the front to fit the lever arms instead of tube shocks. I widened the kit rear wheels so I could fit bigger slicks and got some 3d printed 12 spokes for the front. Paint is SMS pearl white base with Tamiya pearl yellow and then SMS Inca gold panels and fogging with the kit decals and then Tamiya clear. I have put a photo of the van that i built for towing it Thanks for looking Lee.
