well, here it is, in all its squareness..

 

I like that a lot! The silver looks great on the white.

 

very nice.... nice pinstriping work

 

That looks great!! The Silver is very subtle against the white.

 

looking good

 

looks good, is the silver outlined with the same paint the "old skool" is painted?

 

ya, the flames are all outlined with magenta pin strips. I'll get some better pics posted this evening.

I love the silver, and wish the TCM were more like that.

I think clearing your corners would look great.

Do anything to the interior?

 

A set of retro styled wheels would set it off. pin striping looks hott

 

I'm working on ideas for the interior. Nothing has really clicked yet. Still kicking around the 70's van interior right now

ya, I'd love to get a set of retro wheels, but all the sites I visited didn't carry anything I liked in a 4 lug pattern. I do have a line on a guy who builds lug converstion plates that will kill two issues at once: change to a chevy bolt patter and set the wheels out a little more.

Looks Great, Really like the flames in the silver. You should only do the 70s interior if it has **** carpets...LOL.

 

**** has already been priced and picked out. just over 6 bills to build a new headliner and have the **** installed. Besides the price shock, I want to make sure everything I want to do in the ceiling has been thought of before I pop for the work.

For instance, ceiling console, possible monitor(s) and other items that I have been looking at.

but ya, **** is in order, hopefully by fall of this year.

 

regarding the wheels...i know some hot rod shops get wheels in that are not drilled yet. might be a possibility

 

ya know, that's a damn good idea... I'll do some searching on that

Thanks

pin stripes look sweet...flames are nice too..damned good work

 

Sweet!

 

Old school? The konig troubles kinda throw that old school look off. Why not some moon hubs and white wall tires?

 

the end result (after wheels) is a retro 70's van effect, not a 50/60's old skool. The wheels were bought before I had a direction for the xB. BUT, I am working on a different set, it's just a matter of time and money.

should of gone old school on the rims too, but theres notin for those

awsome job on the flame job

 

Oh? Hmm, maybe you're not visualizing what i see. Here's what i mean:





70's retro?? That centercap and white wall style IS 1950s/60s style as seen here:

1950 Ford






Here's a 1974 van:
