70s Style Custom Van

Hi,

I have and old MPC 1/20 scale kit of a 4x4 van. I won it on eBay and had way back when I was a kid. I'd like to do some sort of 1970s style custom paint job but have no references or a blue "Real Flame" paint job but don't quite have the talent for that. Can anyone suggest a scheme to do this thing in? Any WEB sites out there that show 1970s custom paint jobs? I've Googeled "70s Custom vans" and othe iterations of that phrase but have come up empty.

Thanks
J.P.

don't forget to add the big bubble window on the rear, and dingle balls around the windows. louvers over the back door windows, CRAGAR S/S wheels are a MUST!

generally a lightning bolt of various colors and side pipes, jack up the rear, lower the front, bright colors with BIG metal flakes. you get the idea I'm sure.

I google imaged "custom van" and came up with quite a lot of images of custom vans of many eras. might also try ask.com.
