Jimmy Flintstone Dodge A100 van

[Spruslayer]

I bought this on the cheap but for what it cost im happy with it,Lots of fitting and sanding to get this togrther.

The back story is as a kid in the 60s there was a flower shop/green house mom and pop operation that i would hang out and sometimes do odd jobs.They had a A100 van for delivery,dont remember the year but it was mid sixty's, that i had many rides. This  is a replica using only my memories as i couldn't find any pics of the van.

Thanks for lookin and stay safe and model on !

Looks great! I really dig those old Dodge A100 vans.

I have one of those that I bought many years back. Got a wild hair to try to cut the doors open and broke it (dumb).

After seeing yours, I may have to glue it back together and get it done.

Nice work on the Flintstone body.

i built one too and the body is fairly thick so I don’t recommend opening panels. Even if successful it will be difficult to hide the panel thickness.

Advice for anyone with this body.. check fit on everything! I remember having to reduce chassis edges to get a fit. Check glass fit. You are probably going to have to sand the mating areas of the body flat, and the door panels.. I found it easier to thin the panels than the body. Check the fit with the front seats on the chassis. Mine was worse because I used bigger high back seats.

Thank you everyone.There was lots of dremel time to get the LRW chassis and door panels  to fit plus the window fitting.Several times i was worried i would dremel through the body but luck was on my side .I ended up taking the LRW front window and cutting it in half and fitted each one .As my foggy memories serves me i remember door wing glass in the 1to1 which was'nt in the LRW kit
