1974 Dodge Tradesman Van

[tuffone20]

 I built this van to give to Mark Worman of Graveyard Carz and I came up with the idea for after seeing they had a Chevy van with a Graveyard Carz wrap on it and thought since they  specialize in Mopars they should have a Dodge van instead. 

So this is what I came up with. 

My son lives in Portland, OR and I was there last week on vacation and went to their shop in  Springfield, OR and gave it to Mark and he really got a kick out of it.

That van is beautifully done!! I hope he has a special Top Shelf to put that one on!!

How did you do the wrap on the scaled down Dodge?

Wow, great job on some impressive graphics.

Very true!! Also got a photo with Will & Mark’s  cousin Doug.

The finish on your build looks just like a 1:1 Dodge Van. The delivery to Worman and the crew at GYC must have been a special experience. Is Mark as crazy in person as on TV ? 

[tuffone20]

This is my 3rd time being there and in person Mark’s a little different then he is on TV but still kind of full of himself. ?

Very nice build! The wrap looks great.

Awesome!

Nice job! I really like the rally wheels and white walls on the van. Was that custom made decal multiple pieces? You did a great job with it!!!

[RAMBENNA]

great job on the van and that's awesome you got to meet the Graveyard crew.

[Classicgas]

Well done!

[Lorne]

That's a great idea!! Graphics are killer! Love those guys at Graveyard Cars. Pretty much the only car related show that I watch!! And I'm a Chevy Guy!!! Mark knows his Mopars!! They look like pretty approachable folks!!

Thanks for sharing!!

[Chromecop]

Really nice build, well done !!!!!

[PappyD340]

Impressive indeed and you got to meet the gang to boot, very cool

[Slimguy]

Fantastic build...can't imagine how difficult it was getting that wrap on the van...heck I have difficulty with simple water-slide decals!  Mark was lucky to get such a nice model.

I watch the show and seen this van on the shelf, didnt know if he was selling them or a viewer built it, it is awesome very nice
