Hi Everyone,
Not sure if anyone has seen it yet, but in the latest Street Machine magazine they have used my FC Van in their Expression Session, drawing it up using some of my thoughts in what I would like to achieve with it. I haven't seen the mag yet, as I'm in Townsville & it's not out up here yet, but I fly back to BNE tonight & it'll be the first thing I grab at the airport.
I'll post up a pick here as soon as I can remember my bucket password.
Hope you all like it.
Cheers
Marc
Maybe try Van059 ;D

Mark, just looked through the Street Machine, Aden has done a great job on the artwork, it looks fantastic. I like the way he has racked the b&c pillars forward, makes the whole van look more retro. Don't know that I'd have the balls to cut up a great van like yours, but hey, stranger things have been done. It would be great to see this artwork on the road as a runner.
All the best if you decide to have a go.
Regards Jim
p.s. did you read the artical on Gino Scullino's ute, sweet looking bit of gear.
looks cool but it would take a brave man to cut up a van as neat as yours
vano59 next time your in the ville let me know, this goes to any fe/fc brothers and sisters
Well, finally remembered the password ::)

and she's not looking as good as she used too. I'm in the process of building a garage for her, so the weather has been unkind to her, but I'm painting her matt black to hide the blemishes lol.

Not the same van that's in the the avatar...
yep, she's looking a bit worse for wear :( , but I've been away for 6mths so now I'm back I'm starting to work on her a bit more.
come on chop it!!!!!!!!!!!
not sure about the wheels aden did
but i am inspired alot by what he drew
he has alotta style to come up with that i reckon
scallops dont work alot on holdens but i think he's nailed it
i have been tapin' scallops on my ute for ages and always go nah, its not a chevy........
chop it though hahaha dont be scared,theres plenty more
If you like that you should check out ""Harko"s build from a couple of years back!
Interesting...Havent flicked thru the latest SM.. my subs ran out oops.
Raking the pillars fwd would be a good idea.. would negate having to lengthen the roof, plus give it more of Chev style.. anything to avoid welding across the roof is a good thing... A perimeter cut around the roof to pancake the roof would give it the new width.
I'd like to get my hands on a van to chop it, or even make a delivery from a wagon.
Cheers
