hooknladderno1 Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Looking for resin conversions of these if they are available? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! David
Jon Cole Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Your photo shows the mid length Econoline. I need one, too! It will take two kits. Use the rear doors from the second kit to make the side doors, I haven't figured out yet where to cut and section the two bodies for a longer wheelbase.
Jon Cole Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Wheelbase: 124” or 138” Overall length: 186.8” (124” wb), 206.8” (138” wb) Overall width: 70.3” There's the numbers. Figure out the diff in wheelbase for 1/25" scale.Here is a side shot. Print it out in 1/25" scale, use as a template.Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
maxwell48098 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Here is a similar conversion that I built in 1984 using a modified 1981 issued MPC Cannonball Run 1978 Dodge van. Body and chassis modified to B300 maxi-van specs, with a second set of rear doors installed on right passenger side to provide windowed doors. Paint is Dupont Chrysler W1 with Testors orange.

Use the rear doors from the second kit to make the side doors, I haven't figured out yet where to cut and section the two bodies for a longer wheelbase.The rear doors lack the lower-body sculpturing that the side panels have. Maybe use a section of the drivers' side body panel from the donor body?
