    Some stripes airbrushed with patterns or skulls or babes in them. That would look sweet!

    I have some stuffed kits that would only be good to cut up and make paint masks. That you could have for very cheap. (sizes are perfect but colours are crap or damaged)

    Sidepipes on modified vans and a more standard style ( exit behind the rear wheels) on more standard vans would be my view.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    I like the look of the White HJ stripes on it, they are more subtle than the lairy HZ stripes. HZ stripes on a unmodified van look ok, on a modified van it is too much going on for me. I like Jason's idea of custom stripes..... I reckon ghost flames would look great in a lighter and darker blue, maybe a dusting of white to accentuate them a little.

    The only REAL problem I have with side pipes, is that the make the van look unbalanced.
    Because the stop before the wheels and hang down low, it appears that the rear quarter is way out of proportion.
    Probably just me though.
