leafsprings Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Outstanding job! You really captured the look of stock Chevy window van back in its prime. Very authentic looking. Rookie Resin once offered the correct looking cap for this era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBEAUMONTGURU Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Here is the grill installed. I made an A/C condenser since i was adding a complete scratch built A/C system. The new grill with open bars really shows of the condenser nicely. Headlight glue is still drying in these photos thats why they look funny!!

TheBEAUMONTGURU Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Did some more underhood stuff like adding a brake booster and master, along with a fairly accurate washer bottle from the parts bins. Again headlights are still wet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEAUMONTGURU Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Its almost done. Remainder of the underhood details done. Made all the oil filler, transmission dipstick, rad holddowns, made all the decals and added some factory firewall markings too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk11 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Wow! Seeing that steering wheel and the plaid sends me right back into the one I drove for a camp one summer with a rack full of canoes behind. Can still feel the front tires thumping on the gravel road... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
