I made two of these panel vans for the Godfathers of my two boys. It is mostly maple, with some oak accents. The vans have pull out drawers in thier boxes to stash little things. I found some pics of these kinds of vans online and I thought they would be neat for a desk set. I am still waiting to find some decal sheets so I can personalize them, but I wanted to share the photos right away. This is my first attempt at building one of these with the intention of leaving the grain exposed. I usually paint the trucks so I don’t worry about the fit too much because I could always fill it with filler. |They are about 14 inches long and used store bought lights and wheels. I made everything else by looking for pics online and comparing them to some blueprints i found for model t cars.

Are you looking for the print your own decals? If so look at a hoby shop for RC cars or Train (model railroad).
All in all very nice.

romansfivefive,
Really nice looking build! Those smaller projects with so many pieces are the hardest to keep fit of the pieces perfect. I like the inlayed strip down the middle of the top and on the hood. I hope both Godfathers were Ford men!-lol Again congratulations on a fine build, and thanks for sharing!
Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis
