Limeyglue Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 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 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M. Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 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" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Not usually in to customs but I really like what you've done. This is really cool looking! Nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
