Welcome to the Dodge Caravan conversion. In the blister this really isn't a very exciting car. What it needs is a little attitude adjustment.

Here we have the 98FE Dodge Caravan, a nice model even if it is a little plain.

Dissassembled, I don't know why Mattel tinted the windows so dark. It hides most of the interior.

The ground effects, donated from the RC Firebird that provided the wheels and air scoop for the 32.

Basically what I did was cut the bottom parts off the Firebird.

Just setting the pieces in place to make sure everything will line up good.

Now they go on for good. I'm just using JB weld for now, if the seams don't hold up then I'll do them over but with pins to add strength.

All the ground effects are on, seams are holding up great. I've been attaching one piece at a time and letting set up for 24 hours.

Well I can't seem to find a wheel set that I'm happy with for this so we will just make a set. I've been wanting to try this anyway.

The new wheels will be the same size as these, I'll carve them in wax then cast in silver. Have to make tires also, latex molding rubber should work. The next step is fender flares to reduce the wheel well opening, they will go all the way down and tie into the ground effects.
