Ira Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 BiG SCREEN TV!!! I found this TV in a 64 Impala kit. It had Rabbit Ears and an AMT Ad on the screen. I left off the back of the TV and cut off the Rabbit Ears. Then I cut down the Dashboard and the back of the TV, for a tight fit and glued it in place!

Dr. Cranky Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Nice detailing on that engine, it turned out great.
Ira Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Ira, far be it from me to tell the master of the cartoon builds what to do with their builds but what do you think about a bubble instead of a flat glass for the moon roof ? Just an idea, you know best. Thanks for the suggestion Ray! I do have a bubble that size. I tried it but I don't think I'll use it... Edited November 2, 2012 by Ira

kyotey1693 Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I havent been on in a while. This thing is coming along nicely. I love the updates! Keep them coming!!
Ira Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 I havent been on in a while. This thing is coming along nicely. I love the updates! Keep them coming!! Thanks Lucas! I will be posting new ROCKET VAN updates here soon...
Ira Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 INTERGALACTICAL DASHBOARD!!! I found some Real Nice Round Head Pins, Made from Glass, in Dolores's pin cushin. Looks like these would make Great Control Levers! I drilled holes in the Dash and glued the cut down pins in. I also cut out the back of the seat and fit it in place. I added some Gauge Decals and a few details and the Intergalactical Dashboard is done!
Ira Posted November 12, 2012 Author Posted November 12, 2012 Getting wilder and wilder every update! Only One way to go with Rocket Van...
BluePopsicle Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 You are having WAY too much fun with this build! Nice job!
