82 Dodge van Good Time

[Leica007]

This is the finished Good Time Dodge van, not to be confused with the "Good Times" series vans of the 70's.  It was a good learning experience in planning and fabrication and a fun build.  I used Dupli color Dodge Silver and Apple Barrel acrylic Candy Apple Red (air brushed). You can see more details in my WIP,  Thanks for looking and comments/suggestions welcomed.

Like the changes to the body. Great paint treatments and interior details.

Thanks Jeff, This wasn't a kit, I modified a Bad Company van kit.  My name Good Time van is reminiscent of the Good Times Vans of the 70-80s which produced finished tricked out vehicles.

Well, alrighty then! Apparently, I need to read the text more carefully, Lol. Excellent conversion work!

Just think of the overload springs and heavy duty shocks on the back of that! Great concept and well executed!

Note: Has that gal got pants on?

I should have mentioned that I started with the AMT Bad Company kit in the opening post. I did in the WIP section. If you wanted to see more, you can check it out there. Thanks again for your interest.  By the way, I grew up an Ohio Buckeye.
