Here is my completed Chevy van. Scratch built arches,front valence and sills with the sidepipes in them.

Its been made into a short wheelbase and the rear doors smoothed out and a custom rear light and a custom grille.

The wheels are from Aoshima. The paint is candy yellow over metalflake silver,gunmetal and light gunmetal. 

Thanks for looking Lee

Lookin good Lee…this thing is straight out of the 70s!  Excellent paint work, both the color and design are perfect for the van.  Very well done.?

Beautiful looking paint finish and the retro designs remind me of the van craze of long ago. The custom body work is even done like a few of the high end builds of the time. Like how you smoothed off the roof edges and drip rails.

It's been 50 years since I last felt the 70s vibe but it hit me like a ton of bricks after seeing the van. Only one sums the van itself, 

"SWEEEET"

Not usually in to customs but I really like what you've done. This is really cool looking! Nice work!

That is one beautiful van. Would have definitely been a feature article in Truckin' magazine in the 70"s. A very clean build and your paint work is outstanding. Just wondering, did you do a fuzzy fur interior?

No not after all the work on the body

This is fantastic! Super cool and a spectacular job! One of the coolest looking vans I’ve seen for sure. Just great ?

Very cool custom van, Lee. Nice style and good looking body-work. Nice work on the paint, too. That looks like a heck of a lot of masking. Nice, clean lines. What tape do you use?
