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,

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,

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