HZ Van Persian Sand MKII

Thanks Big Rob that is great. I am sorry for this but I am at mock up stage and I didn't want to get through paint and be told that it should be straight.
Thanks everyone for the help

Yep, agree with Rob... about a 1/4" bow. Sorry Wombat, looked straight in the dark when I took that pic.

Nothing to be sorry about mate!
I'm surprised that we weren't able to answer correctly straight away. They do look like they are straight but the more I looked at the pic I posted the more I kept seeing a slight bow in all of them.
I stuck a straight edge on my WB and sure enough..... a slight bow, and I know that it's original and undamaged.
Glad I could clear it up and sorry for the initial misleading info.

Been a while but here is the latest shot of the body.
Chassis going back together will put more up when I am home again

Looks like you've finished all the metal work? Come a long way

Dude! Most of your Sandman has gone missing?

[Wombat7051]

Yea the motor is away being rebuilt, including NOS cam, the tank and lines will be next. The underside of the van will be painted then put on the chassis. I will then do the interior and door frames etc and put together then spray as it was done in the factory in one go. Trying to get it done for June and beach fest but we will see.

I thought they painted the bodies at separate facility or was that only at some plants?
