Nick Winter Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Can I play too? I've got one in it's box with the handles, trim and emblems shaved and back doors cut out? Nick
RodneyBad Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Can I play too? I've got one in it's box with the handles, trim and emblems shaved and back doors cut out? Nick Why Not, ya got enough room on your plate for another build? Holy Cow BigBlockLyle That is Soo Late 70s to early 80s Time to Tub it out and drop it. Or just take the Engine cover out and stuff in a Hemi with a Hi-rise Paint looks good on it, it must be an older version with the details still visible.
Chuck Most Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Next time you see my 5th wheeler, I'll be on its own thread. Not siphoning Rodney's Dajiban anymore!

That's the look I was going for. 1970's cruiser. Nope, it's staying the way it sits. That'd be nice if I had the parts. Thanks, it's Testors Lacquer, I love this stuff. It might be an older one, but the interior leaves alot to be desired so the rear windows are getting either mirror (if I can do it) or black limo tint.
Chuck Most Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Now it kind of has me thinking of a full-on, tubbed, caged pro street van with a mid-mounted Pro Stock Hemi...
RodneyBad Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) I think (at least) I have the ride hieght and maybe the wheels. Revells #8 Nascar kit wheels with Good old GoodYear Blue streaks Maybe the Paint theme But not the front wheel(I'm no Artist either) Wheels will be Black Edited February 20, 2011 by Zukiholic
Foxer Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Ut oh ... I think I'm sensing a signature. But the Rising Sun DOES look good on a van, especially with it wrapped around front and back! The ride height does look good in my eyes, although I had thought this type of van was lower .. probably my imagination.
RodneyBad Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Hopefully I can figure out how to do the SUN wrapped all the way around. My Sun Rays tend to start wondering off once I get a few done. Your probably right, I can still lower it a bit more up front with some Camber and Notch the rear frame. Before I just ran the metal axle straight through the frame and place the front axle above the frame. Still a work in progress
Foxer Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Hopefully I can figure out how to do the SUN wrapped all the way around. My Sun Rays tend to start wondering off once I get a few done. The paste up you showed made me thing of the wrap as the rays are positioned. The front looked like a fat ray would surround the grill top and bottom .. cool. The back wrapped as shown would also be very distinctive ... followers wondering what the heck is that with those red bands ... and pulling up along side at a light.. Oh WoW! I am assuming there would be a sun on both sides. If not.. wow.. imagine the one side continuing as on your car. You CAN'T lose no matter what! Edited February 21, 2011 by Foxer
Chuck Most Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 If you're going with that paint scheme, I'd go with some rollers more like the ones on that Impulse!
oldcarfan Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I need to get back to mine. I lost momentum when I lost the windshield!
oldcarfan Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Here is a Dajiban website. It's in Japanese so I don't know that they are saying, there are some interesting photos! http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/r_q_collectibles
RodneyBad Posted July 27, 2016 Author Posted July 27, 2016 In a failed attempt to make it a shortie Van, the cuts when Awry . Soo, Taking a break and doing RC Crawlers for a while.. They do grow on ya.
