An old van they want to get rid of.
Does'nt matter if it runs.
Last year we did a van for the sox. And crashed it into an old berretta.
Looking to do a bears van.:joy: :joy:
Anyone who is interested in helping paint this LMK.
I have a beater car to park it on top of.

............Last year i just left paint and brushes out there and let customers Confusedmash: paint it. This year i would like to make it look a little better.

Everyone is Welcome to Help Paint. Don't have to be a painter.
We can pull it in the shop where its warm to paint. There is a compressor If you want to use air brush or spray gun. Also will have brushes and roller.

:joy: No Guidelines Paint what you like.:joy: ( Bears Related )
It's been a while since I shot anything thru my Binks gun (my own Camaro was the last 1:1 job).

I would suggest a good enamel paint so you don't have to mess around with color sanding or a clearcoat.

I'm afraid I'm not the right guy to help you on this one. No time. But it would be fun to shoot a Bears Van.

That's gonna be a lot of liquid mask film!!! At least you can just roll down the windows, no need to mask them off!
Not to worried how long it last. After the seasons over it will go to the scrap yard.unless someone wants it. No need to mask windows lights etc..
Heck, then I'd get a couple gallons of gloss oil house paint and shoot it with a Wagner Power Painter!!! It would be awesome!!!
Thats what we used last year. house paint and brushes,
If you look at the pictures you will see its not a proffessional job.
But it still got a lot of attention.
Yea, but it's quite dead.

'87 Chevy G-20 Beauville window van, had a minor electrical fire in '04 that took it out of commission at that time, but Dad said the 700R4 was making the same death noises just before fire that a company truck he had at CNW many years ago was making right before it's trans came apart on I-80 outside of Des Moines, IA some years back. Right now it's being used as a storage container.

Do you want to get rid of it?
Where is it at?
Does it run or will it need to be towed

It's my parents van not mine so I can't say for sure, Dad was going to pull the tires off if it and put them on my sister's Cherokee. It's completely dead in the water because of the fire, we had to get it towed home from the place we were at (and that required a pretty big wrecker, the van weighs probably between 4600-5200lbs!) and the trans was acting like about to fail catastraficly (sp?) on the way to the place there. Last few times we've moved it around the yard one of our Jeeps, a come-along, tow strap, wheeled floor jack, large block of wood, and/or a 6'x2" metal bar to move it around.
Ok well let me know if they want to get rid of it . i could swp the tires for you
