Hey, I heard that the M.R.A.P.* is getting a new van, (well new for them at least). Not sure of the year but I heard it looks like this one.  Jerry *Midnight Requisitions Auto Parts |

Oh man Jerry, that really sucks but I kinda like the idea of the repaired fender look. Sometimes you have to get into some pretty tight places and accidents do happen.

Seeing as I have this in this section, (as it should be). I'll show more of the build thus far. I decided to build it as a curb side and save myself a 350. Here's the interior. Done in Krylon Fabulous Finishes Suede, color Buckskin # 1241  I tinted the vent wings with Blue tint.  glued the front bumper on , took the picture ,and right afterwords it dropped off.  That's when I super glued it and myself to the van. I did start the progress of the repair and also decided to finish the rear.  and This is where it's at at present.  Here with the trailer  Thanks for looking, Jerry |

WOW, I'm getting this thing repaired before you guys even get to read the post! I just demasked it from the primer.    And if you must know, No I didn't disassemble the van to do the repair. Thanks for looking, Jerry |

Here's the latest.  I kind of like it like this. A reminder that even custom paint, (or customs themselves) can get screwed up. In this case I think it adds a bit of interest and reality to the build. Jerry |

Yes it does.
I like it.

I agree, gives it a realistic look to it as a everyday work vehicle.

DUDE!!! I really appreciate you posting this build, I just picked up this very kit at my LHS and was wondering how well it went together, being raised in the 70's I am probably gonna try something a little retro with mine...

"wondering how well it went together"
I can honestly say that it's not a difficult build. Any problems that I had encountered were of my own doing.
I left out the engine, and made it a curbside,as the hood doesn't open and to me a waste of a good 350 sb.
Thank you all for you compliments,
Jerry
