This is not your normal build thread.
I've been looking for a van to haul my RC planes around in for a while, I'm getting ready to start selling kits at shows and am starting a youtube show about RC scratch building. I wanted something that I could grab attention at events with and still be comfortable in on long trips. I had it in my mind to find a later model E-250, but this old 93 Dodge fell into my lap for next to free. My plan is to make it a 4 seater mobile workshop/ airplane hauler That lets people know that I specialize in Building and selling RC WWII bombers.
This might get a little ridicules, but you can just call it a hat tip to the 70's custom van craze if that makes you feel better, or you can just make fun of me for doing dumb stuff to an old van.
if you have any input on the videos, or the build itself feel free to speak up.
plan so far is to
tune up,
pull the back seat to make room for planes,
rip out the nasty carpet and replace it with something better,
remove side skirts because I hate them,
paint it green and add my logo and graphics,
fiddle with the exhaust,
add a somewhat nice sound system,
replace all the interior lights with LEDs,
and obviously add the bits I need to work on airplanes while at the field; soldering iron, hot glue gun, deep cycle batteries, and a tool box.
