Archway How To - custom vans and trucks

**sandmanowners** · 12-03-2012, 12:22 AM

Going through all my sandman related info, found these scans I took back when I was collecting custom van and truck magazines. May help someone whose building a 70s or 80s inspired interior!

Cool, i remember the article when i was collecting them too, found those two pages on another website and downloaded them for that one day van project (it still hasn't happened yet) after all my copies of CV&T went missing, now i have to start all over again looking for the magazines.

We used that pattern for our yellow van arch...very helpful, we bought the magazine from ebay, a few years back and found that article very useful....

Because of the full length hood lining I think I plane about 10 mm of the top the suit it wass difficult to get in to a windowless van because of the extra rib in the centre I had to remove 1 of the cover plate so I could manouvre it in to position

Trash, Rodney is my better half, and brains trust for all things technical just in case you didn't realize...
