Unbelievable what you've done here Danny. Probably the most Restored vehicle that I've seen you do. Well done. Amazing.
Great job! This appears to be a Chevrolet\GMC van, but the Ford grill looks good in it. I love old vans like this, so I especially like this casting.
Excellent job I bet you there's no diecast vehicles that you can't restore you do excellent work and bringing New Life into Old diecast.
Love the custom color for the Chevy van, it helps it stands out perfectly incredible in its own right, excellent job, well done.
Other than the Ford grille in a Chey van it really turned out nice. Keep up the good work
Superb. That one looked ready for the bin. What a transformation. The worse the vehicle is to start with, the more profound the difference at the reveal. Once it was down to bare metal, it's not a bad casting: door handle and hinge detail, number plate recess, lights, and fuel filler door
I also think it’s been a great turn around. The van looked knackered, now it looks great. Thanks for the video.
Chevy Van with a Ford Bronco grill...AWESOME!!! Just needs one of those 70's murals on both sides!
I may not comment much but I do watch every one of your videos - and this was an exceptional rescue. Excellent!
Filler.....the more you put on, the more you have to take off. Well done on this truly beat up van.
Amazing how you made that Bronco grill look like it was part of the original casting. Strong work!
Great job bringing that old van back to life.
Great improvising on the bumpers and windows. Quite a challenging resto.
You really brought that one back from the dead
I don't understand how someone could be so miserable as to give a thumbs down to someone who takes sad old abused toys and gives them a new life. You'll always get a thumbs up from me.
Bizarre isn't it. I see it also on rescued animals videos. I mean, how can people do a thumbs down???? How do their minds work??
Paul B. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. Maybe they didn’t like the color combo or the casting just wasn’t to their liking. Not agreeing with or liking something doesn’t make them miserable (although they could be), but even a thumbs down is considered an interaction by YT. And for the record, no, I did not give it a thumbs down.
@@mopar_dude9227 it seems everyone is a critic these days, even me.

It is because those people get their jollies from being miserable, negative jerks ... there is NO reason not to appreciate the talent that someone like Danny has !!
I AGREE 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This was more than a restoration, more like brought back from the dead 👍🏼
That is just an excellent restoration/custom! You really did a great job of repairing the model. The Color Shifter paint is very interesting and makes a nice finish to the model Thanks for sharing this.
Great job on the front grille and rear bumper modifications.
Super job Danny, your talent is beyond amazing. Color shift paint was a good choice. Looks like an entirely different casting !!
Well done! I just restored the same van but went the easy route, bought a parts van for the windshield and grill. I like how you cut out the windscreen, I'll try that on my next project. Thanks.
Nice job Danny. The front grill and wheels really give this van a great look 👍
When I saw it at the beginning I thought what on earth can he do with that mess. You nailed it - again. Brilliant and love the paint job.
Wow! That looks great! I always love the small details. It's amazing what you did with this wreck!
The color is great , and the tires are perfect!
Looks amazing, great details. Like how you made a new windshield.
ANOTHER EXCELLENT RESTORATION WITH BETTER PARTS REPLACING THE DAMAGED ONES DANNY GOTTA HAND IT TO YOU AMAZE ME EVERYTIME MATE👍😎👍

I had so many of these as SWAT vans. Great snub nose grill and the double lights on top. nice job dude.

great work , i learned a few new trick watching this
Great job! I love old vans!! I thought it was cool that the HotWheels Bronco grill fit in the PlayArt van. I'll have to remember that.
Another great restoration!
Cool job on the seats.

Extra 👍🏼for the ones that Didnt.
Great job looks great. I take it and add to my collection.
Awesome customizing. The repairwork is great. The new grill fits perfect. Maybe there could be a roofrack with surfboards or campingstuff.
Hiya Danny😁😁👍👍!! What a beautiful restoration!!
Great turnaround, as always! Love the new bumper-/grillsection and the wheels. The look perfect on this little van.
With that new front end, it actually looks like the 1996 and newer Chevrolet vans. I would have liked to.see.how the bumpers were fastened on. Super job!
very nice turn out an very nice work well done👍👍👍👍🍾🎉🍾
It's so good to see that you saved this!! Somebody else would have just thrown it in the trash. Nice work 👍 and thank you for the videos.
Nice work! The van looks good as new! It might of been an emergency vehicle or police wagon judging by the holes it had on the front roof and I'm only guessing because most Diecast emergency vehicles some times had lights on the roof.
Well! This turned out great! Not to partial to the colour but that's just me. Well done danny 👌
great paint looks awesome
Wow! Amazing job! Well Done! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Danny, great tip for how to create a new windscreen...I'll be giving that a go;)
Love it perfectly perfect!!!! Great job Danny.
Amazing!! Probably your best yet. I finally managed to get the latest lot posted to you this morning.
A lot of great work went into this one, the grill looks great! Personally I think a tradition paint job would have looked better than the color changing, but that is just me. Keep up the great work.
Nice job Danny i thought that would be used for oart but u put hupty dumty back togeter. Good one mate.
