Limeyglue Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 Here is my completed Chevy van. Scratch built arches,front valence and sills with the sidepipes in them. Its been made into a short wheelbase and the rear doors smoothed out and a custom rear light and a custom grille. The wheels are from Aoshima. The paint is candy yellow over metalflake silver,gunmetal and light gunmetal. Thanks for looking Lee 17
Flatout Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 Lookin good Lee…this thing is straight out of the 70s! Excellent paint work, both the color and design are perfect for the van. Very well done.? 1
Chinacar Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 Very nice. Great paint, clean build. Love it! 70's dream machine. 1
ncbuckeye67 Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 That paint is beautiful, and your bodywork is flawless! 1
Volzfan59 Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 Beautiful build, thanks for posting. I miss the 70's, great music, great cars, custom vans, all of it! 1
espo Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 Beautiful looking paint finish and the retro designs remind me of the van craze of long ago. The custom body work is even done like a few of the high end builds of the time. Like how you smoothed off the roof edges and drip rails. 1
John M. Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 It's been 50 years since I last felt the 70s vibe but it hit me like a ton of bricks after seeing the van. Only one sums the van itself, "SWEEEET" 1
TonyK Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 Not usually in to customs but I really like what you've done. This is really cool looking! Nice work! 1
TarheelRick Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 That is one beautiful van. Would have definitely been a feature article in Truckin' magazine in the 70"s. A very clean build and your paint work is outstanding. Just wondering, did you do a fuzzy fur interior? 1

Hmann68 Posted May 5, 2024 Posted May 5, 2024 This is fantastic! Super cool and a spectacular job! One of the coolest looking vans I’ve seen for sure. Just great ? 1
Bainford Posted May 5, 2024 Posted May 5, 2024 Very cool custom van, Lee. Nice style and good looking body-work. Nice work on the paint, too. That looks like a heck of a lot of masking. Nice, clean lines. What tape do you use? 1
