Leica007 Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 This was a fun and nostalgic build, had to drag out the album to refresh the old mind on some details, which was like taking a vacation. Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did building it. Comments welcome. I'll post a couple of pics of the original 1:1 tomorrow. Thanks for looking. 4
TarheelRick Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Remember those days well, PV4 (Pickups, Vans & 4WD) Truckin' both covered the scene very well. Very well built and represents the time frame, nice details throughout. I know you did a WIP, I need to know how you did the sliding door.
espo Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Like the theme and the paint color and finish. Great looking interior layout. Sure had some good times in these vans.
Chirps Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 That came out awesome. Enjoyed watching the build!
cheyenne93 Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 Very nice! Like the green and gold, and the painted wheels.???

Did you want additional pics or more explanation on the sliding door? I'll gladly send you an email either way. Thanks for looking and your interest.
Leica007 Posted March 26, 2023 Author Posted March 26, 2023 Here's some pictures from my scrapbook of the original 1:1 that I had back in the day. These were taken in 1980 on my way to Germany.
Slotto Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Great job on the old girl. Love the paint and the nostalgic look.
