Ford Econoline 150 Chateau - 1976 (Ex-Vantom)

[Dominik]

Hi everybody,

today i will show you my Ex Vantom. The kit was partly build, the body painted and some - or more - parts were missing. All parts, that makes the Van to Vantom were gone, also the dashboard and backlights. So i removed the paint, make my own paintjob, some bmf and build my own dash.

Here some pictures:

I like this Van without all the tuningstuff. So i get another Gluebomb from the first issue and today the new "Phantom".

Thanks for looking, comments always welcome

great looking build I need to get one of these

That looks great. Have you thought about adding some decals to it? Like "Los Angeles County Coroner". That would look great in my opinion.

Thanks for the eye candy , Dominik ! Looks super !

I've been anticipating the release of this kit for some-time (truly , over 20 years !) ; I can hardly wait to see it at my LHS .

[1930fordpickup]

Awesome !

[Gluhead]

Nice! I've got a started one to rescue as well. Most of the important stuff is missing, so hello curbside.

[Chuck Most]

Gorgeous! Cannot wait for this one to come back.

Thank you very much for comments.

The "new" Phantom is 100% the same kit. I get mine yesturday and i like it. So you dont need to hunt the old kit.

I agree!

I plant, to make a tow vehicle for my Dick Rathman's Hudson. Thats why i painted it black/white. But when i wanted to fix the decals, they were very bad and too thick. I ordered now from Jim Heller new ones. The same quality that i used on my Hudson.

I think also about a S.W.A.T-Van. The colours always remember me...

Very good looking van

Dominik,

You did a great job on this build! The dashboard looks correct for this van.

I have to pick up one of the re-issue 'Phantom' kits. I had a 'Vantom' many years ago that never got completed.

Awesome build. It's remain me of an 70's Popular Mechanics mag project, using a Econoline 250 van, whit have windows in the passenger side only, and they converted to a multy uses van.

I really like your build.

Thanks Buddies for your comments

[Shardik]

Very nice, clean build. The badges look exceptionally nice. My only criticism would be that the side mirror brackets look out of scale, but I'm not a van guy, so maybe not.

[Lunajammer]

Beautiful work as usual Dominik. I'm glad you beat the rush of new kits.

[blubaja]

Nice and clean. Looks good in two tone.

[Jantrix]

"Yes officer, I saw the getaway car. It was a black van with a white top."

Nice work.

[Edward Gore]

Very well done Dominik.
