Scale-Master Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 OK, it is wrong, but since Fiat owns Dodge and Ferrari I can reconcile it to some minor degree. How’s that for rationalizing? Two Tamiya Enzo bodies were sacrificed, and one Lindberg SnapKit Caravan was used for the base. The front of the Enzo “body kit’ was widened a scale 12.5 inches. The rear bumper and lower sections of the fenders were fabbed up from sheet styrene. The Enzo engine, trans and rear suspension was also used along with a few scratch built and machined parts in the interior and on the engine. Wheels are Tamiya Porsche units with machined outer rims and trim rings. Tires are from a Tamiya GTR. A set of Enzo tailpipes are behind the mesh in the rear bumper, and a radiator with twin fans resides behind the front grille. A reflective coating was applied to the headlight covers and it changes from gold to blue depending on the light. A Revell ‘69 Hemi Charger scoop and hood section were grafted into the smoothed out Caravan roof. The rear wing is from an Acura Integra. SMS decals for the C/F. I opted for a suede gray finish to further the odd stealthy look I saw in it as it developed. And to give it a bit more of a sinister attitude.
MichaelJ Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Now that is cool!!!!!! great work on the mod's. sweet color choice. I LIKE it!
Harry P. Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Well, I'll give you an A for imagination, and an A for execution and craftsmanship... But as far as the design goes... it hurts my eyes to look at that thing! It reminds me of those crazy Japanese bozuku (or whatever they're called) cars.
fredo84 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Good Lookin' Man !! Pretty Nice Mods !!! F
Erik Smith Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Wild idea and great job on all the work.
cobraman Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 That is one wild and crazy van. I like it.
Silver Foxx Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 This is so neat - great ideas and skill to build this, well done.
TooOld Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Not too bad , actually pretty cool for a mini - van . Kind of an updated GM Dustbuster van ! Honestly , you did an excellent job and the color looks great !
Austin T Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I think I saw something like this in my hight school parking lot,except for the ferrari engine and the mopaer stickes,but it had a tab bit more bondo. Good job.
uncle potts Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Well, I'll give you an A for imagination, and an A for execution and craftsmanship...

Bartster Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Well, l peeked in from time to time on the bench. l really don't wanna like this. But l gotta say; that's a very original & groovy design! Kudos, Bart.
wrecker388 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 This is the first minivan i'd actually consider driving.
turn1wonder Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Very well executed and right up my ally. Can you show us some shots of how the interior and engine compartment look? Bob
Scale-Master Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Very well executed and right up my ally. Can you show us some shots of how the interior and engine compartment look? Bob There are some interior shots here, in the in-progress section: http://www.modelcars...pic=61387&st=40 I guess I forgot to shoot pictures of the roll cage being installed before buttoning it up, but on page 4 in the above link there some shots before the window decals were applied. Bosuzoku? Maybe just a little... But since learning the history of it, not such a bad thing either...
krazyglu Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 You are truly the master of scale. This is so crazy and different than anything I have seen you build, and even though its slightly "out there" your skills sealed the deal.....wicked!
Patrick2005 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Kinda makes me think of what Batman would drive if he had kids. lol
RodneyBad Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 WOWWEEEE. Awesome looking Mini Van.. I'd race that to the store anyday.. Family Road trips would be a blast and a lot quicker..
Junkman Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Idea and execution are truly superb. I would have opted for a different colour though.
seeker589 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 NOW I know what to do with my wife's minivan! It'll cut her commute time in half! Great build! definately reminds me of the Ford Supervans. Thanks for sharing!
GerN Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Outstanding. It looks ugly but right - very impressive.
severin681 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Lol thats crazy! Really nice mod. The marriage of different parts were done nicely. Good choice of colors too.
