Thanks for your comment Dago, checkd out your Mandarin Red Sandman album, looks like theres some good work going on there!
Good choices on your van I reckon man, I'm not in quite the same boat on this one though. I'm not really rebuilding mine to sell it, more to preserve it, but, as the cost in outlay goes up, I do have to think about the end value and why I am doing this (lol). I just need to choose the colour and get it protected so I can put it on the backburner for a bit. I agree, if I was a buyer looking for a restored Sandman van I'd need everything to match for top dollar, but as the restorer, I can only get this one as close as I can, and the chassis doesnt match. Might be worth more as a hot looking (ex Sandman) I dunno, I always loved that orange colour. I'm still working out the paint code for that orange, if you get time to post back, I be pleased to know if Mandarin Red is the darker shade, or if it is actually the bright orange (colour of an actual orange that you eat). Still deciding here, these posts are helpful, maybe I'll still go with the original Antelope.
