lol a caravan sounds awesome but there's no way it could match the coolness of a smart car.



well,today is the deadline for the movie comp.....i might just make it.
i've got a few loose ends to tie up and smooth out the clear and i'll be done.








cheers,

aw, you didn't get the door correct. well, if you just plain didn't notice it, i'm sure nobody else will. other than that, sweet! seems a tad too long though, but it's very sweet. great job!

came out great man...your shop makes a nice place for a foto shoot...the red tools and such accent the stripe nicely...and vice versa...looks sweet...oh BTW saw mini ateam figures on ebay the other night if u r interested

Freakin COOL!

Now, where's talking Mr. T?

Is it attached to the chassis? up front it looks like the fornt bumper is just sitting on the front clip.

Regardless that is one AWSOME looking van. great job turning that Dodge into a GMC! Mr. T would be proud!

i did notice that but i believe i coverred it in the first post.
time played a huge factor in the outcome.
the length is such because it was originally cut to fit a hummer chassis but i wasn't happy with the hieght so it went on an extended evo after it was already together and puttied.
again,time came into play.

that was one of my concerns at the beginning of the build.
i didn't have much to go on(had to build the bumper) and had to mount the shell + the brushgaurd.
my solution was to add a solid piece of styrene stock behind the bumper spanning between the rails of the brushgaurd,the front clip screws into the styrene stock.


thanks for all the cool posts guys.
please keep in mind though that i only had 2 weeks to turn a halved dodge van that was missing most of the parts into a GMC A-Team van.

cheers,

And you did a hell of a good job.

bondo...i thought they were 1/24 or so...they had the whole team, tho poss sold separately...went on ebay and searched a-team under toys and hobbies...good luck

...how about a vid with the ateam theme playing in the background?

...although do do any stunts or jumps you might have to build a couple stunt-doubles...er...body doubles?

Hey Bondo, do you think after the XMF competition, would you keep on working on this body?
