HI! Those among us who lived trough the late 60's will remember that, in the face of declining musclecar sales, Hot-Rod started to feature more dune-buggies (!) and... Custom Vans! The Keep on Trucking mantra took hold, and no vanner worth his salt went to a Van-In without some custom paint, mags and groovy interior with an 8-track tape. Ah, the good old days! The VW van always tickled me, and I found this Revell California Roller dirt cheap at a show. Good news: all-opening doors and hatches built in. Bad news: a zillion parts, with adjustment issues that called for just a "quick styling job". So: scratchbuilt rear shelf and tubs, lowered suspension, front wheel pans that craddle the scratch-built seats, a custom roof rack (gotta go to Woodstock, eh?), an HOK pearl and Gel-Pen "Psychadelic" paint effect under Tamya's TS-13 clear. Molotow Chrome brush-painted here and there. Snap NewBe rolling stock, and the 66 Riv Low Rider bike thrown in for fun. I guess you had to be there to understand. Apologies to all! CT
