might sound crazy, but my first thought was a likeness of the Great Pyramid on the back ..of you could make it look real enough It would definatly be one of a kind ... but you got a good Idea with the paddy wagon back and all... its going to be kool what ever ya do!!

I dunno if this is a crappy idea or not... but when you mentioned steps up to the back.... I had a vision of the back being painted blue and white.... like a port-a-potty truck.... Watch out for those skidmarks.

Well...........you'll probably regret hearing from me  ...........but keeping to my style of building....I would make that a rolling cremater(I think that is how you spell it ) and call it the "CREMINATOR" Put a chimmey on it, maybe make the back part or paint it to look like steel or bricks...........with a opening in the back to put the wooden body boxes in...........maybe use the coffin trailer from the Vampire Van being pulled from behind it................Just my warped sense of thinking!!!!..............hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm.....maybe I should start another project!!!! |

How about a "go green" theme ? You could have leave the rear partially open, fill the back full of junk motorcycles and called it the re-cycle-r , then again, being white it looks like it could be a good start on a good humor truck rod

Love the look of what you've got so far. I don't have the "theme" for you, but maybe scratchbuild a flat, one-piece rear door that hinges down to become a loading ramp for a pair of mini-bikes from the Vandal and/or Baja Beast?

Do they call those big dumpsters in the US.?, when ever someone is chasing baddies down an alley either dive behind them, CSI always finding bodies in them.
Crematorium sounds a wild idea. Stove pipe and coffin trailer.

Kettle!! You should have told me. In my junkyard, I have tons of Paddy Wagon parts. I could have sent it with the glass dome.
Next time, make a list and I'll see what I can do in one haul!
Looks cool so far!
Keep on building!

Looks like an ice hauler or something refrigerated to me... frozen fish, crab shack? Laundry service, fast dry cleaners? A plumbing vehicle? Telephone repair?
Make the rear tailgate half way and it's a tree service hauler for the woodchips...
ACME Produce delivery...
I really like the stance and lines if you can pull it off and make it all make sense.

How about loading it down with tools and making a "Handy Van" or "Handy Andy's Handyman Service" I bet you could fit just about everything from one of those shop tool boxes in the back of that one. A little hook and winch off the top of the back... Other lettering could be "Fast and Free Estimates", "Speedy Service", and so forth. Instead of speed sponser decals, you could have Snap-On, Craftsman, Home Depot and the like... |
