1963 Econoline project

[yocumbros]

starting a 1963 Econoline Gasser project. I want it to look like a exhibition vechicle or wheelstander from the sixties and be streetable. I have a Big Block, th400, and a 9" rear going in a swingarm rear suspension.

Here's what I'm shooting for. Jay Cruz, another van fan drew it up for me

I like J Cruz's artwork, isn't he a Vandelaro? That rendition looks great, should be cool when done. Great looking fab work!! This was my first full auto paintjob, not perfect, but I learned a ton and am real happy with how it turned out. Not sure if you can tell, but the panels on the side are lace flaked panels and the whole drivers area is red flake over black base. The roof is all red flake and I'll panel that off and spray some lace panels some time this spring or early summer. Still working on the doghouse and new tunnel, but hopefully will have it painted within the next month.

thanks, Jay does great work and since he's big into Van's I thought he'd be great for this one. He is a Vandelero. Your paint looks great, love the panel design. How large of a flake did you use and what size tip did you have to use on the gun? I've been looking into what it will take to spray larger flake and I'm getting a lot of different info.
