Dominik Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Cool Vans around here. Especially Tom: amazing! Some are in my collection too: Another ones will follow...
BigBad Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Love those stock vans Jeff! There's something about that Chevy with all white trim!
Tom Geiger Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Just remembered I had this one lurking in my unfinished project pile. Jimmy Flintstone resin body that is replicating a van of a friend from back around 1976. The van was brush painted and had wood bumpers.
Repstock Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Can I ask what you built this from? I'm looking to do a Chevy Grumman Step Van and this looks similar, though I suspect it may be all scratch built. It does look fantastic! Yes, it's scratch built. see here: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Repstock/library/Step%20Van?sort=3&page=1 Thanks for the kind words! Edited July 16, 2013 by Repstock
lazlow Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Did this one back in April. A special thanks to Dwayne for hooking me up with parts that were missing so I could make it almost box stock. And there was another member that pointed me into the right direction the plans but I forgot his name thanks any way. I say almost because it came with one 3 types of sirens that (in my openon) did not look good together, so on Dwayne suggestion I found a 2nd big siren off a cop out on ebay, that had to be modified just a little so they match, then put some post on both so they would fit in the existing wholes. I moved the hose, prayer, thinging to the back along with the gauge panel and moved the later up. It made more since to me. The back windows didn't come close to fitting so I justified leaving them out with the thought that all that heat and fumes had to go some where. I dropped the front a scale 3 inch's into the weeds only to find out that was not conceders box stock, whoops. And lastly put a 9 where there was nothing but a whole up front.
crazyrichard Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) awsome vans posted already here mine > not finished yet , used some chevy parts for the front and rear , just a fun build body slammed and just fun without to much worry about style Edited July 27, 2013 by crazyrichard
crowe-t Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Tom, Your vans are incredible! I remember you posted the green Ford Econoline in another thread a while ago. Every last detail down to the spare tire in the back of the Chevy is spot on. I had to go back and look at the pictures a few times to make sure they were models. BTW, what paint/color(s) did you use on the green Ford Econoline? Mike.

This model just has "FUN" written all over it. I am sure it brought you many hours of joy and pleasure.
Dominik Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Cool Van Lazlow. Never seen one built of them! i have some more vans in my collection. An old A-Team-Van: The "Foxy Box" without decals and with stock frontend: The "Vantom" 1st issue Edited August 10, 2013 by Dominik
martinfan5 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) I hope to have this one done soon, not entirely happy how its coming , but I plan on building a second one Edited August 10, 2013 by martinfan5
b_lever1 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 All these vans being built and no one seen the CBP ohyeah 70's custom vans the work on these are awsome like the rep stock window vans
crowe-t Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) I hope to have this one done soon, not entirely happy how its coming , but I plan on building a second one Jonathan, This is coming out real nice! I never saw one of these kits built with the extension added to the rear. How many Vantom/Phantom kits did you use to build this? Edited August 10, 2013 by crowe-t
crowe-t Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Has anyone compared the AMT 'Phantom' to one of the MPC Ford Econoline vans(Sunrunner, Juke Box...)? The bodies looks very similar. I have an old glue bomb MPC Sunrunner that's falling apart but don't have a Phantom for comparison.

cobraman Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I only have one. It was a project that did not turn out as planned. It's ok to laugh. : )

crowe-t Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Michael what are you doing with the sunrunner I'm interest in it if your willing to part with it Bob, I'm keeping it. It's a kit I built back when I was a kid and want to tear it down and re-build it. Edited August 11, 2013 by crowe-t
b_lever1 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I only have one. It was a project that did not turn out as planned. It's ok to laugh. : ) No laughing here that is very interesting
cobraman Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks. Van was sectioned and is mid engined but more of a slammer than a detailed build. I kind of lost interest half way throught the build.
