Projects The ACME VAN build thread

Cool Van, looks even better in person, great job John.

 

The Van is Big & *****in , comfy seats too , the color combo is perfect , well done Acme & Bruce .

 

Looks awesome!!!

 

Awesome van, it's nicely rounded contours are begging for a set of Caddy quarters like the van in "Up in Smoke"...

 

I got to see it at the BadBobs birthday bash. It looks cool, but didn't realize the power plant it was packing!

 

I saw that Bad Boy at the HAMB BBQ. I drooled all over it, sorry.

 

Too Cool! Makes me want one!

 

that would probably be pretty damn cool

 

i love it - looks really good

 

The van (like the owner) is cool as hell and very nice!

 

Nice!

 

Very nice Metro. I especially like your seat bracket, looks like you've made it easy to get stuff in and out by making the seat pivot back, very cool.

 

the acme van is kickin shweet great job

 

beautiful! i've been fixing up a '59 Metro ice cream truck for the past year. after a year of trials and tribulations she is now mechanically perfect...getting her in paint and body in the coming days. im located in los angeles..hope to see you around when my project is all finished. once again, gorgeous ride!

Thanks for the props on the Acme Van. I am working on getting some tunes installed and a few other little things before the drive out to Lone Star Round Up.

I am having Jeff at Hot Rod Electric modify an old 60's radio to have am/fm, IPOD and USB inputs. It will look like an old worn out factory am radio with push ****on presets. I will make a custom box to mount it overhead and will make old looking perforated metal speaker covers (like in an old bus) to hide what will actually be a kick-*** stereo.

Driving the van (any old car for that matter) always looks like a video as I look over the hood and watch the road rolling by. I did'nt want to drive all that way without a soundtrack playing.

 

Coolest Shop Truck at the GNRS. When I was a kid, I remember seeing those Metros used as Jitneys in Atlantic City. They had windows in the side and were used as small busses.
