I found this 40 Ford van on ebay, missing its chassis, wheels, and engine. I had an old 40 chassis and other parts laying around, and an ancient Buick  nailhead from an original 40 ford coupe from the 1960's, and used those  parts. Wheels are from the Revell 34 Ford coupe snap-tite model. I added oval windows o the sides,  VW taillights, and spare tire from who knows what for interest. Paint is Rustoleum gloss orange. Engine is wired. License plate is a nod to Chris Farley's Matt Foley sketches on SNL The model doesn't look bad, I think! Comments welcome!

Cool interpretation,  and the porthole windows look pretty good. Now if you could find something to use as a bubble for them, it would definitely scream the 70's.

Love '40's as well as Sedan Deliveries and Orange is one of my favorite colors so this looks good to me. Very resourceful build.
