The other day, as I was driving along in my '06 Grand Caravan, thinking about how to design and build a 'Rambassador', all of a sudden I got another inspiration to make my Caravan into a Prostock machine ;D ;D. Tried to imagine one of those huge hood scoops looming large in front of my windshield . So I rushed home, took some pictures of my ride and started working on the idea on my computer. Here's what I'm starting with, the original picture. Here I've removed all the background so I can get started on modifying the body, stance, etc. Here's where I am so far. Don't know if'n I will actually do it in plastic, but just might. I did see someone had a resin? Caravan built up on MCM, so the body is out there. We shall see. For the time being it's 'on the bench' in my computer. Looking forward to seeing what happens. Comments, advice, are welcome. Seeing the 'look'-- chopped like this, also got me thinkin' of a salt flats runner too..........oh boy Later and God bless

Since I got me this nasty rash, don't feel much like doin much else but 'playing' on the computer, so did some wompin' on the Caravan, poppin' some real big prostocky like slicks & skinnies off'n a diecast VW ps'er, and then layed a scoop on the nose..... ......and flames, of course. Later and God bless

Hi John. Lindberg did a snap kit Caravan, but it was the body style just before the one you have. It was a pretty cool kit, but doesn't have opening anything, nor an engine. Considering your talent's that won't be a problem. ;D Finding the Caravan might be the problem. But the big man allways provides! God bless! Don. P.S. I'll keep an eye out for a Caravan around here. We have a pretty active club and there's no telling what will show up at the meetings.
