        This is basically finished. I thought about putting this and my last post in "Finished Customs." Maybe that's where they belong, but I still have some wiring to do, some interior detail to finish, and I will probably add another design to each side.

            Amazing. That has to be a truly unique vehicle. Clever way to express Mego love.

              I can't wait for someone to mention this to me around town so that I can say "I know that guy"

                looks awesome, Brue. Looking at that last head on pic, if you had lowered the mouth graphic, the grill might have made a pretty good Ceasar Romero mustache texture.

                    So cool!! How tempted are you to put in a pop top sun roof and mount a giant squirting flower on the roof? ;-)

                      That would have been funny.

                        The pop top was a mere $258 option in 1971. Now it would cost Thousands to alter the vehicle. I did consider adding a sunroof.

                        I designed flower ideas on paper. I looked at using the sink vent in the roof to mount it. It may still happen eventually, but for now, I replicated the flower on the box art in paint on the door.

                          You must drive that, with a crew in full costume, causing hilarious-mayhem across the land!

                          My goodness, the con invitations should be coming your way soon. Have fun Brue!

                                I like this so much.

                                I just had a crazy idea: imagine dressing mannequins that sport 1:1 Mego-style heads in hero/villain costumes and posing them in the van.

                                Oooh, the thought makes me giddy...
