Hello,
Since I've never claimed to be normal, here is this completion:
So I need a support vehicle for my racing operations and car museum. Especially for communications and broadcasting.
So I have a Chevy Van with a comm link, pintle hitch to haul car trailers and front pushbar for salt racers.
Full details after the pictures
This started out as a Hot Wheels generic van. While I used a recent release, this casting dates back to 1975! Another Larry Wood design, my favorite Hot Wheels designer.
Work done on it:
Disassembled and repainted
Color:1971 Chevrolet Mediterranean blue
Scratchbuilt items:
Satellite dish with machined telescopic mast, cable and styrene base with bolts (styrene and wire)
Rear ladder (made out of wire)
Rear pintle style hitch (styrene and wire)
Door mirrors (styrene)
Front push bar (steel wire)
Door handles (flatten solder)
Front grille Chevy bowtie emblem (styrene)
Other mods:
Masked and painted panel lines for the doors, hood, etc.
Black painted interior (except windshield)
Painted the original wheels (gunmetal, silver, flat black and metallic black in the centers)
Tires treated with dullcoat
Painted marker, turn signal lights, fog lights etc.
License plate says "Pratt & Miller Corvette Racing" This is actually an extra 1/24 chassis plate I printed for the Ron Fellows project.
and the spoiler picture
