Olskoolrodder Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 REALLY diggin this build! My Dad had a '78 E350 4x4 LWB (was an old hwy dept window van) when I was a teen in the upper 80's (I hauled Yamaha's to the moto-track with it ).
01blueedge Posted December 2, 2012 Author Posted December 2, 2012 this must be a slow build no update Yea i havent had much time to mess with it hopefully i will get back on it soon
modelguy45 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 i guess you put it back in the box till next year
01blueedge Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 I might try and mess with it a little this weekend if I get alittle extra time
GTMust Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Just picked up this kit myself. Wanted to do a replica of my '84 E150 Funcraft conversion van, but that would be a long project with many mods to the basic kit (barn side doors, longer body, side wondows, raised roof, etc., etc.)...... so I think I'll just build it fairly stock instead! Just too many other kits waiting to get onto the workbench. I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress on yours. Tony
01blueedge Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 I got the rear springs made and installed and started on the motor I also finished up making the rearend
mikemodeler Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Looking good Josh! I picked up an old MPC 4x4 Ford Van kit at the SCMA show in Spartanburg last weekend, still kicking around ideas on how it will get built but you are giving me some ideas here!

I cant wait to see what you do with you van
mikemodeler Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I wish i could have made it up there i heard it was a good show and had some good vendors. I cant wait to see what you do with you van There was a TON of aircraft and military plastic there. more than I expected. The show in Simpsonville in May has been a good one for cars & trucks,I sold $300 worth of kits there last year! Don't hold your breath on the Van getting built soon, it will be a while before it makes it to my desk.
