I always thought there should have been more to the Deal's Wheels line. This time up, I'm adding a van variation - the 77 cHeavy Van! The grille that came with the Revell kit had a defect - incomplete blades, which they have since sent me a replacement piece. However, I went ahead and just cut the rest of them out, which let the bowtie appear to float! Those taillights were made with some of Ira's red prismatic film under clear 2-part epoxy. After several attempts at cool graphics, I finally decided to go with reformatting and repositioning the kits decals on top of the pearl powder blue. The bubble windows are acrylic cabochons from the craft bin. Muscle Mike I've had to drive at least 3 Econoline vans as my company car in my adult life: one white, one dark blue, and one powder blue (not pearl, and no graphics!) ;D

Hard to believe it's been more than seven years since you built this ! I always planned on doing my own version , even bought a Chevy van kit to chop up . . . maybe it's time to move it to the top of my list !
