This is my HX Sandman i brought about 8 month ago it was in very poor condition but was a good starting point as it had a 350 chev,Top loader , 9inch, WB Statie front and interior and on gas. I was looking for a more original Sandman but I couldn't let this one go when i saw the potental.I should have paint and panel work finished in 2 weeks I was hoping to make the Van Nats in QLD at Easter but I don't think it will be finished in time. Had to replace both doors and tailgate, plenium top and the bottom of one quarter. The tailgate is a one piece and I've shaved the filler hole, quarter blinkers & door and tailgate locks. Next will be a new crate motor and some 17". PS.I hope the short cut works http://picasaweb.google.com/rhino350/RhinoSVanEdited by user Wednesday, 21 March 2007 5:07:31 PM(UTC)

awesome van mate,its really come on since you got it, you must feel proud.
can i ask how you have done the tailgate lock as i was looking at removing the t handle from my pano but due to having the two rods to open it im unsure of how to set up solenoids to open it.
