Cheers mate,thought it had moon disc on?

 

[68whitewesty]

no.

 

[popcorn balls]

That wheel has been on and off at least 50 times to my knowledge.........

.......unpainted, painted, 3 different sized tyres, suspension lowered, lowered some more, beam narrowed, narrowed some more, moon discs on, mood discs off etc etc

Its gonna be a truely stunning wheel when it's finished :shock:


I'm sure i've got a few pics of your whole van over the last couple of years work Steve - i'll stick em up if i can find em

Here you go.....

This was a couple of years back, it's changed a bit since then (but not that much) The front panel is now all smoooooothe - custom stylee and all the welding is complete, just prep, paint and refit now!

It's a very early RHD 68 model, built late 67

 

[popcorn balls]

More work on the early early

The wheel is coming along nicely, tucked in on it's narrowed beam and all dressed up in a shiny moon disc
Also you can see the welded up vent, steve's going all smooth in his old age 8)

New cab floor and Moon pedal

NOS rear corner, matching pair with the other side

These are a few months old - it's nearing the primer stage now :shock:

 

[easy]

Keep up the good work that man! 8)

 

[popcorn balls]

think he's been at the magic mushrooms now, look at this beast.......

believe me you're not getting anywhere near the full effect - it's a sunglasses job when you see it for real 8)


latest plan is (i believe) white bus, green metal flake roof, dash and bumpers :shock: with a full on tiki interior :twisted: safe to say it will be unique!

 

[popcorn balls]

petrol tank got painted today - not green and no glitter tho :shock:

 

[gninnam]

Looking forward to the finished article - get some more pics up soon please

 

[Justin & Muttley]

Love that metalflake - reminds me of the funky 1970's Hotwheels Dune Buggy I had as a kid... Metalflake rules!!!!!!!!

 

[slammedkustom]
