As a teen growing up durning the custom van spree, I couldn't get enough of the kits to satisfy my lust for the craze. Now that I'm much older and have a daughter of my own, I can understand why my parents were opposed to me having a van as my first ride.. so from the land of ebay, an original issued sealed kit. 🤔°° now I've gotta have more..😁 I  see that the Revell Stranger then things '77 Gmc Squawk van kit comes out sometime soon.

You know about the Tamiya 1/12 scale 1970s Dodge van, right? It’s an injection molded body for R/C. It would need an interior. It sits on a monster truck chassis, so you it would need street wheels and tires. A pretty cool canvas for a ‘70s custom paint job. You can find the bodies on eBay.

So this post is a .. what I got, and what my picked out for me to build for her.  

The road car is for me, and so is the mica silver and clear, all from the LHS. 

The 57 is for the wife, and the teal is for it. Will be doing teal and white interior as well.  The kit is from the LHS, and the paint is from HL(LHS didn't have it) 

I also think the wife likes going to my LHS, especially when she knows I will build anything she wants.

I did not know about the 1/12 Dodge van, so I went and did a search. Pretty cool, but I'd prefer to stay with the smaller scaled vehicles. Although the larger scales would be easier on this older guys eyes to build, they take up to much real estate for displaying IMO. But I do appreciate you turning me onto something I knew nothing about.

I ordered 3 sets of aftermarket 3d printed HEMI headers from ICEMAN Productions. I used a set of them on my '69 HEMI powered GTX, and they were a perfect fit. I'm currently working on a '68 HEMI powered Dodge Dart Super Stock car, and I wanted to use them again. Problem was they were on backorder for a couple of weeks, so when I got an email stating that they were in stock again, I went ahead and ordered 3 sets of them.
