1977 Chevy Van

Another one bites the shelf.
This is for the Scale Auto Forum Cannonball Run Build Off.
I thought i'd try my hand at weathering again.


It's the van from the Revell "Race Team Van & Trailer" kit (thanks DSF) sat on Revell '68 'vette suspension and powered by the blown big block from the same kit.


Interior is modified and scratchbuilt and includes four 44's to provide long range between fuel stops.


Wheels & tyres are from The Parts Box and paint is enamel from Bunnings.

that's one cool very cool van, don't know if I would sit behind the wheel with the drums inside like that

Wasnt me Fred, but it came out very cool

Sorry dude. So what did I trade with you? Oh yes, the Ecto Caddy.
So who did I get this off? Whoever it was. Thanks and sorry for forgetting.

Allan, the drums are clamped to the stands by the bottom flanges. Don't think they'd stay put in a heavy crash but seeing as I only provided lap belts that's probably immaterial

Turned out very nicely, lots of detail in the interior.

That would be a hell of a backdraft in the exhaust wouldn't it?

Great stuff. Nice finish. No cop would notice that van with the super wide tyres and all!

That would be just plain scary to drive. Great job Fred, very imaginative.

Nice build mate, alot of very inovative ideas in that thing, and the weathering ( or is that "lack of cleaning") came out great, supurb build !

very very cool
great detail and weathering
just dig those vans
really a nice build

.....that's pretty wild Fred, exactly what I'd expect from you......

I don't know what's better , the idea , the build or the weathering . Well done all round I think

Ticked all the boxes for me too
