75 Chevy van custom

[Limeyglue]

Here is my custom Chevy van. Started by smoothing out the rear and removing the lights and number plate mount and created a new rear light.

I then made a new front valence and slightly reduced the size of the grille. opening and making a new grille.

I then made it into a short wheelbase version and made the arch extensions and new sills to take the sidepipes. I also made the front spoiler so it connects to the front arches.

Now in primer and few spots to sort and then to paint.

Thanks for looking Lee

That is very cool! If you don’t mind me asking how do you get such perfect body work in the corners of the flares and spoilers?

Great looking paint treatment. Like the lace inset.

Well done, looking forward to more magic on this really cool build. It's very representative of what was displayed at car shows like Autorama in Detroit in the 70's 80's,
