Limeyglue Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Here is my custom Chevy van. Started by smoothing out the rear and removing the lights and number plate mount and created a new rear light. I then made a new front valence and slightly reduced the size of the grille. opening and making a new grille. I then made it into a short wheelbase version and made the arch extensions and new sills to take the sidepipes. I also made the front spoiler so it connects to the front arches. Now in primer and few spots to sort and then to paint. Thanks for looking Lee 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
