Cpt Tuttle Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 We have a van group build on a swedish forum, and I'm starting with this.Started with cutting out for some skylights, the fun part of a van build is the interior, and what is it worth if you can't see it?
Cpt Tuttle Posted July 25, 2016 Author Posted July 25, 2016 A bed is a no-brainer in a shagwagon like this, so I took one from an Italeri Scania and cut it down, and covered it in black velvet. If it's rockin', don't come knockin'! My first idea was to put a complete Camaro RS grille on it, but it was too tiny to look good on the big van, so I just took the headlamp doors, and I quite like it. Planning to use Mustang taillights, rotated 90 degrees, to get a similar look in the back.
gatorincebu Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Interesting start on what should prove to be an interesting project ! I like it. " Shag Van " Be Well Gator
Cpt Tuttle Posted July 26, 2016 Author Posted July 26, 2016 Wood floor and velvet on the wheel wells too.
Cpt Tuttle Posted July 28, 2016 Author Posted July 28, 2016 This boombox will serve as a barrier between the rear compartment and the drivers compartment, also I will mount a small foldable table on it, with cupholders. The seats will be mounted like this, just a little bit higher (would probably swivel in 1:1 scale). Privacy is of course important.... The rod is for a drapery that will be installed later.
Cpt Tuttle Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 Added a bar cabinet, and a little bench seat (modified VW Backseat).
disabled modeler Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Neat project...someday Id like to find a early 70s Dodge one to make a replica of one I owned once.
gatorincebu Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Really cool looking interior. Reminds me of my old chevy van. Be Well Gator
Cpt Tuttle Posted September 5, 2016 Author Posted September 5, 2016 Wood paneling and a downscaled copy of a 70s velvet wallpaper.....Also I gave it a name now.... "Astral Dream". I guess a custom van needs some kind of psychedelic-new-age-name.
gatorincebu Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Nice work thus far ! You are really capturing the look of the van era. And I like the name. Very fitting. Be Well Gator
Darren B Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 oh I am on this one for sure, awesome work so far, I love custom vans and you are doing an excellent job!!! Keep up the good work.
darthsideous Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 I really like how you applied the 70s velvet wall paper, what a great touch!
