That looks promising Scottie, I was wondering how you had been
amazing work there scottie, your certainly good with glass!
cheers chris.
Looks to be coming along nicely , Nice one
Hey, that looks good.
Suzy's truck sat similar to that. She had jag coilovers, on the back of hers.
Looking good:D

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
Attachment 36426
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:

now the van panel is roughly in place it has been stretched 10" and another 2" added to the roof height
looking more like a panel van now
Attachment 36427
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:

Excellent job you did there Graham, people don't realise how much work that involved :thumbs_up_smiley:

Ace Scottie.
once its MOT`d,you fancy taking a 2 week holiday on the south coast?You can do my roadster for me...2 weeks will be plenty of time the speed you work!
I wish i had the drive a lot of you blokes do.
well today this happened, after a few minor fails on saturday
Attachment 33160
Well done !! Lochwinnoch on Sunday ??
Never seen this thread before... definbately very cool. The work in that to lift moulds, manufacture the panels and then re engineer them is a major feat in itself, never mind build the car and see it through.. Massive effort and a great reward at the other end .. :)
Did you ever do anything with the A chassis and running gear or is that stashed away for another project ?
hopefully yeahQuote:

Einstein can't be classed as witless, he claimed atoms were the littlest, when you did a bit of splitting-em-ness, frightened everybody sh*tless
Can I ask you to repost the earlier photos??
I'd love to see this coming together.
Very cool.
