Got to say this about the kit it is not as good as I remember but that was long ago.Did not know much about cars and stuff back then,the auto transmission is a C6 don't look like any C6 I have worked on so doing alot of rework to make it more like a real C6 I starting to think sometimes I'm to fussy but thats me.So anyways correcting the powertrain making coil springs for the frontend then I plan to get into the interior going to make it like the originals The way van goodies did them.pictures will come later

This is the best thing I've seen in awhile I have wanted to make a set of these for along time now I have a way to make these have to do some and show them off to my boss he is a big tecky and really thinks my models are neat will tell him about this and that is was found online. Not that smart I do not like taking credit for someones ideas Going to try this shortly guys post your results

Very nice widow it's looking very good

Can not find it up here in Canada I'll have to get a subscription had one years ago when Greg first bought it. then I moved! Greg just never sell out to walmart they never have anything good

Hunting and fishing is okay but I beleive in the right to arm bears thanks for the info on youtube going to you channel right now

Thanks Doc that is what I'm doing I've been build for about 30 years been in clubs contest etc. But I now live in a very small town everybody out here is in to hunting, fishing ,snowmoblies etc including my wife! I'm not that is why I joined this fourm good friends advise like yours and a place to show off my works I just don't understand this youtube stuff what does it cost to join I want to see more better ideas more friends . Moving to small town was my choice better job and fresh air

The doc is right! I'm not into making movies about my style or way of building I'm saving up for a better camera. It may seem dumb just got into this internet thing about 2 years ago it says to join these vidio things on youtube what does it cost,I would rather spend my $$$$$$$$$$$$ on models

Got some things done tonight , innerframing to the rear doors ,stepwell for slider and thanks to lonewolf1 a way of making the sliding door work check it out in tips it is called Homicide doors or in the help fourm. Will have pictures up Thurs eve

Laz just lucky other than taking wife fishing we don't do much kids all grown-up its her,me and my dog he (dog) spends all day in the shop with me except when spraying he knows vaccum comes out it's time to paint.stay at it my friend

As like Tom's wife does so does mine. To get more time at the bench I take her and a kit fishing she fishes I work on a kit cleaning it up for primer or body changes just my way of getting time to build

hahahahahaha I suggest he put it here also because I was tring to figure out slideing door for van 70's vanCBP going on now!!! Plus suicide doors where front openning not sliders I like "Homicide door" it may not be the best name but for us guys building these vans it is a tip we needed so it is good just not the name thats my 2cents worth even less in canada lol

BINGO thats what I'm wanting thanks for the post please repost this on tips and tricks if you can

Rear doors opened up and started to figure out sliding door. Not doing much because of flu worst thing in the summer but keeps you inside building thats okay.Still have to work though,tonite going to hinge rear doors and get some primer.

This is alot of help the problem is there is not many of these old girls around anymore>Looked at the system on our 05 Caravan slider top and bottom with a popout in the middle if you expand the side pic of the van you see the extended u-bolt that is where I think it will get tricky

The year of ford that I'm doing had bottom track and mid door u type of bolt Haveing grew up with these old vans there was door extender (the u bolt ) Trying to figure out how to make it slide in the body it is alot like a mini van like the one in my drive way (duh) going to check it out I'll let you know how it works thanks guys

This thing is one awsome build really like your story on the build

The van when it was built had the same wheels the kit comes with but I going to be building more vans to boot

Have bad cold to slow

No I didn't . Looks like your making progess even with the mistakes AMT made

Got somethings done today(day off have the flu) rear doors opened just have to hinge them and trying to figure out how to make a slider for the side door. Going to start on the inside tonight or the frame ? don't know having a cold makes it very hard to think.posting pic's later
