If it's not, I like that color layout too. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | Madman! Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | Sweet, nice and smooth!

The hood I bought from a guy in CT that was parting out a custom, the scoop is steel and functional.
Starlord, it is primer, but after looking at the pics, I'm starting to rethink the one solid color idea.
The van is scheduled to be painted Viper Yellow. <small>[ May 10, 2006, 09:13 AM: Message edited by: TattooingSC ]</small> | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 7,662 Likes: 2 | She looks sweet Boot,glad you got your body shop delema worked out.

If it were me I would have kept the windows but mounted them longitudinally above the belt line.
Still, looks good! | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,101 old hand | old hand Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,101 | awsome Boot, cant't wait to see it in person in Va. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 378 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 378 | clean, and ya gotta get a black stripe or two | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | Madman! Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | No stripes.....2 tone ant bad if it is done right.
Solid would look like Johnny O in yellow! | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 3,455 Likes: 23 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 3,455 Likes: 23 | A split two tone like they do most of the cars on Overhaulin with a third color breaker stripe would look killer. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 3,124 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 3,124 | </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Superbeast: <strong>Solid would look like Johnny O in yellow! </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I really dont think so. While I love Johnny O's van, there'll be a lot of differences. I have no plans for flares, and the body mods will stand out more in yellow, I think. Right now we're shaving the cowl vents, and we'll be installing frenched cadillac taillights. I'm also considering painting the van's name on the sides, or maybe on the back door. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 Vanaholic | Vanaholic Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 | Boot, I think it looks great....keep it up and your going to have one sweet van... | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,148 old hand | old hand Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,148 | Looks great! You did a beautiful job on shaving the handles and mirror holes as well. What about the Viper Yellow on top with a pearl white beneath. Hemi Orange pinstripe with the name lettered in the pinstripe just behind the front doors... Just a thought. I do also like your wheel choice | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 2,632 Wood Carver, Supreme | Wood Carver, Supreme Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 2,632 | Good looking van there Boot! Keep up the good work! B.W. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,670 Central Long Island Vans | Central Long Island Vans Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,670 | that looks very nice. I'm having second thoughts about selling mine. Just wish it was that clean.
good luck with it, Viper yellow will look great. Maybe some murals too. Heres an idea. Have the front end look as if the Paint is peeling and under the paint is the Viper...Nice! | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | Madman! Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | I know where he got those wheels
White, yellow and orange.....I think a bit too brite... All yellow, or yellow and a darker color with an offset stripe break (really thin), but not just a straight line. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 198 member | member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 198 | I have a mid ford and there is something about those dodges that just have a cool look to them. Looks great boot. Yellow would be pretty cool they wouldnt miss you at the nats thats for sure. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 761 old hand | old hand Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 761 | man TATT!!!!!!! that's sweet...!!!!! i love the shaved door handles what mirrors are you going to go w/the small round ones mounted at the top ?????
those windows were cool as hell but you deff went up in cool points gettin rid of em... DAMN PM ME THE SIZE OF THAT WHEEL AND TIRE COMBO!!!!!! yellow is too bright for me but will look SWEET! very nice progress... wish i was goin to the nats! | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | Wait a minute, how are you going to open the doors? | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 3,124 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 3,124 | oh, crap, I forgot about that!!
Actually, I have solenoids in there that open the doors by remote. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 3,302 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 3,302 | Looks great Boot! Make sure you prep that primer real good again before paint, tire shine and primer is NOT a good combo! | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | Oh Yes!

Looks so awesome Boot! Please put the name of your van on it somewhere... you could design some really nice script for that. | | | Re: slow, tedious process | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 1,675 Likes: 1 co-chairman, Southeast Van Council | co-chairman, Southeast Van Council Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 1,675 Likes: 1 | Hey, It's the ghost of Jess...... Good to see you asper.
Oh yeah, Boot, if you can't make it look any better than that I think you should probably just igve it to me or Casey, We can make a real van out of it....
