Newsflash eddy, the ford grills are still the most popular grill, only 2nd to the stock beddy grill, and then the pink easy rolla front end. One reason i did none of them on my van, i laser cut and hand made mine from sheet steel, well my sheetmetal guy did. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D and i helped.  ;) :D ;D

Yes Clint, that is my van at the top.
The van looked like that when my cousins first had it, tho the rust came thru not long after so it spent a few years in primer grey.

Looking at it there i can spot a small number of things i have changed since then, tho its essentially the same.


I used to see the dark blue one around my area quite a bit 10 odd years ago. i remember it being for sale in the quokka listed for $17,000 with $90,000 in receipts..

Glad you guys liked the photo's, i forgot i had them.
The mirrors on the ice cream van if i remember correctly were being supplied by Ken from WA when he had his shop

This van is awsome, i just love it. I remember seeing it when i was in WA sitting in a front yard i think some where around the year 1999. Cant wait to see it finished, its my favourite LWB by far. I want one  ;D

Vanner065, for you a shot when she was first rolled out of the shed after 6months of daily rust cutting..
(http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr339/matteb69/28042010665.jpg)



Craig, the van was an almost identical colour, had the rectangle XC grille, i thought it had side skirts tho i figured i had it mixed up when that photo had lake pipes. It had a rear window that popped up much like a sandman, tho it was bedford shape. i remember a diamond type shape set in wooden frame separating the front seats from the rear of the van with curtains. had bubble windows, a V8 of some sort. I saw it down at the 'blue light drags' at wanneroo once.
I saw it regularly between 1997 and 2000, then it was advertised in the quokka and i never saw it again.

No photos unfortunately :'(

Great photo, thanks.
Just a thought, don't know what you are doing with the wheels but they would look great if you painted the centres white with the outer polished.
cheers

Instead of constantly posting this issue why don't you PM the site admin and ask him.

Clint
At the top and bottom of each page there are several buttons the first is "reply" and the second is "notify" there is a good chance you have hit the second (notify) button by mistake and have activated notifacations on this thread - when you next get that message just click yes and you will switch the notifacations off.
