| | | Just got started. #728317 September 28th 2017 12:31 pm | Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 4 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 4 | New owner of a 1964 Econoline van. Bought it in Bakersfield, CA for $2300.00 with fresh built 300 cu in six and C6 trans. Some rust issues but nothing I cant deal with. Had it media blasted and primed it with Zero Rust. Rest of the body pretty straight.
I just started my business, Dick's Speed and Marine (If you think it can't go faster, you don't know Dick!) The van will be satin black with a "bass boat" metal flake orange roof, Dick's logo, old school Cragars and white tuck and roll seats. It will also have a 60" flat screen on the drivers side interior wall with a 2000 watt stereo system inside and speakers on the inside of the double side doors for promotional events.
I will send photos soon.

Plans sound great...however, when reading your plans, my first thought was since you are doing a bass boat orange metal flake roof, I was thinking orange metal flake vinyl seats would look awesome.

I had considered the orange flake upholstery as well but since the interior sheet metal will be candy orange with some sequins added to the clear coat, I figured the white tuck and roll with orange piping would be a nice contrast.
I will try to post photos today and please keep the suggestions coming. I would hate to miss an idea that would have made this project better! | | | Re: Just got started. | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 47 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 47 | Ahhh. See, getting the whole story with the visual concept changes everything. Yep, that should look good.
