    HQ Sandman replica

    This was a basket case. Removed whole cowl section and whole plenum from a hq statesman and grafted into van. Also chopped a hz ute in half to get rear qtrs inside and out. also rear beaver inside and out. then sanblasted inside,outside and underneath. replaced ever panel and I mean every panel with better ones. You wouldn't know now though. I would have been better off I know to buy a better van but hq windowless vans are hard to come by.P2010004.JPGP2110003.JPGP4090005.JPGP4100036.JPG
