Modified '57 Panel truck

[Geno]

A Jada model that was a custom in white with mags and low profile tires. Switched to somewhat stock. Searching for some cool business logo decals to put on it.

Hi Geno,  What a cool stock panel van......That's just the way I like to see 'commercial vehicles'.

It doesn't look toy-like any more.   Good stuff!

Cool project. I would just make up your own decals with whatever fictitious business you desire. Here are few I have made,

I like this panel van WAY better like this... Very nice work...

As for decals, just check ebay... You can even search through RC stuff... They have some good vinyl stickers that could work... Try a search for "Gofer Racing" decals...

Great job on the panel truck Gene. It looks very period correct.

I'd like to see it again once you get the business name up on the side! 

[Geno]

Thank you all, it is much appreciated. And hello Cliff, nothing even close to what you and Larry do but I'm still plugging away at it lol. I still need to do some more detailing on it. This is what it looked like before except in white. The wheels and tires came from a scrap Motormax '58 Pickup I had in the parts box. I just flipped the white walls to the inside. Most commercial trucks generally had black wall tires.☺️

Those are cool Bill, i just don't have access to make my own lol. I'm searching Ebay for something useful.☺️

That looks really nice, quietly in-period and possessing considerable dignity.  Thanks for sharing...

Much improved!

Got this set of decals for it. Not sure which ones I'll put on it but I can also use them on my '39 Chevy panel as well, after it gets repainted.☺️

Looks great Geno.?  Anyone think a chopped and slightly channeled one would be cool??  

[Geno]

Thanks Mike, yes, that would be cool and since they're JADA models, if it don't work out you're not out a fortune lol.
