HT Holden Panel Van

[dingo]

This is built as a replica of an Australian sheep shearers vehicle, what he would use to get round the outback in from sheep station to sheep station so he could work, the bonnet scoop is of a pro-stock car and turned around backwards something we did in those days.


The driving lights on the front are cardstock, the blight on the top of the left guard is an old rally model light, the roof rack is out of an older kit the antennas are from an unknown model source.

Nice job Dingo, I can almost hear the engine rattling, lol
Reminds me of the late 70's around Cambridgeshire, there were plenty of Ford Escort panel vans with bolt on goodies, wide wheels and jacked up at the back. One of the local lads had even lined out the back with shagpile carpets and fake fur! Not sure if it saw any 'action' though.

Funny you should say that Steve about the tricked out backs of vans plenty of Holden, Falcon & Valiant vans got done up here in Oz they even had clubs dedicated to 'em plus a couple of magazines as well. This particular model has a resin type body and is fitted to a Chev Nova chassis and running gear plus wheels & grille, I broke the glass grille trying to get it to fit also stuffed the plastic front windscreen as well what is in there is thin acetate sheet
