Thank you for your reply HK1837, I appreciate your opinion. I agree it would be more unique in Antelope, and somewhat more faithful, but again as you say, without the chassis hmmn... Still deciding!
Its a van by the way, windowless HX. (scuse my ommission to include that). There is a very slim chance I may find that chassis (one day), it is still around as far as I know, but well... luck is just that! I wouldnt be chopping up another HX van to fix this one though, or visa versa... I started this project to save an ageing beauty from the steel smelter. I realised the issue with cost vs likely value on this one a while back, still, the body was once a Sandman, and it would have been a travesty to let it be crushed, so at least its surviving as is currently.
Maybe Antelope will be the go (wrong chassis or not). Im interested that you advised it was DY1 stripes on Antelope, do you know if this was the only option for Antelope on HX? I got advice for DY4 a while back so I'm wondering how to verify this.
This car has a way to go yet, I have another couple of projects on that will overtake it, maybe I'll end up painting it twice (lol). I hope I am joking, I really dislike painting cars! (lol, lol, lol). Thank you again fo your comment and advice, it helps me on this decision.
