Budget or not, it's all about the right proportions, as you have, by the looks of it. Keep the pictures coming please!
now the cab is unchopped to standard height

made up the sides, these moulds still look more like a sedan delivery but im wanting it to look more like a panel van so i moulded up a couple more bits so i can extend it :cool:

Very nice indeed.
I love these `32 panel vans, Graham. The proportions are looking way better now with the extra body length/height :cool:...
forgive me members its been 2 years since my last confession,,,,i mean update
finally got this back into the garage, rear fenders trial fitted and some more sanding done
Attachment 36428
good work scottie I'm glad it's still progressing
Not a dig just asking.. seen this done before but is there a reason for making your rear kick up with the metal cut that way ? most others you see have the kick up cut length ways from the profile,
it was that long ago i cant remember, was probably the quickest for me at the time
Oh ok... just wondered if it was stronger once boxed or something.Quote:
