A photochop of the van.Not quite the right color and lacking some of the color designs.

While the conversion top is off I thought it would be a prime time to get it painted inside and out.I want the inside painted in the color the same as it is going to be on the outside and the outside the new Caddy pearl while the reflects in the sunlight.I have contacted s local paint shop that comes highly recommended and they got a email with pictures.I am supposed to call them back 2nd wk of Aug to take it in.

There are times in a project you can get sick of all the dirt and grease.I need some shine to help out.

We are staged to have Joe my fab guy to come over and cutout the roof.He came over and made all the measurements of the shop van and templates before the shop van was junked.The plan is to leave the roof bows in place until the conversion top is secured in place.Maybe while the top is at the paint shop,I'll have Joe cut out the top.

I am not big on flames,but I do like this style of lettering which I would have done maybe in gold or silver leaf.More likely in silver.

Zam-the body I am using is a 1989 Florida Cargo.The pic loosely resembles the project Ole Yellar.

This is the body now before the top is on,slider/door handle delete and paint work.
