I think when the bodywork goes on, the arch gap will look better as the rear quarter will come down over the arch tub

I'm a bit stuck though, I'd really like to do a traveller, but on the other hand, if also like to make a van....

Just gets better and better.

could you do removable rear panels and removable wood?

[olds_kool_lews]

I guess I could, just means more work lol I'm swaying towards a van as it means the motor will be hidden, but then I think of how cool it would look with the wood on the sides :-/ I think once I've built the basic frame for the shell, I can decide what to go for

Started making up the rear end today, done the rear corner light panels, just need to notch them a little to bring the tops in so its in scale

Looking good, nice caster axle stands

think it'll catch on? I'm really hoping to get the sides done and on tomorrow, need to make a molding press so I can replicate the recess that van sides have, if I can do that, I'll do a van, if I cant, ill do a woody!

Awesome mate coming on well.

 

Just out of interest is it to scale so that it would fit clamped to the load bed of a full size van????

 

I'd love a custom one made to match my van clamped in the back.

 

Would look wicked!

[olds_kool_lews]

Cheers mate! Well its 1:3 scale, its about 3 1/2 foot long, so should fit nicely in the back of a full size van! I'm still undecided wether to do a van, a clubby estate, a woody, or build a 1:3 scale replica of my old clubVan Valerie.... I think once the majority of the shell is completed, I can decide then as it wont take much to cut some side windows in the back, and I've already got a sheet of 1mm lexan I can use for windows
