    If a Scaremonger makes say 50 statements about a certain subject and some but not all eventually come true does that mean they have the power to predict ?? or just Scaremonger ??

    Budget or not, it's all about the right proportions, as you have, by the looks of it. Keep the pictures coming please!

    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

    I love these `32 panel vans, Graham. The proportions are looking way better now with the extra body length/height ...

    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,

    one thing about doing it that way, use 2 bits of box section on each side and you know they are both the same height
