Smart-Resins Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Would like to know who if anyone makes a resin 40 Ford Panel Van, preferably chopped and or sectioned. Thanks. Jody
Eshaver Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Jody i talked about doing this to the guy that owns Time machine resins when he was at Winston Salem last year. It would have been a stocker , Sorry , I don't know anyone that would cut up such a rare and beautiful piece of art like that ................... cept Ed Shaver

Smart-Resins Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 I actually have that kit, tried to section and chop. Thought it would be simple, but it got buggered up and I dont know now if I can fix it or not? LOl. Jody
Eshaver Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Jody , I got to thinking again about this and then i remembered Yosemite Sam ! Yes the man behind the famous slant chop Chevrolet from 1977. It was a feature in all the magazines at the time . The van was chopped more at the front than at the rear as the back corners had to be SEVERELY angled !In fact the rear had almost a 45 degree slant to it ! As for sectioning such a truck , whew........... an awful lot of curvature in the body both in width and length. If I can find the pictures Jody , I'll send them along. I might still have some in very old and debilitated magazines somewhere . Ed Shaver
