    That's great. Does the car actually fit in the truck? Can you confirm that the doors can't open when it's inside?

    Thank you for the kind words. I assume that means you like it.

    The car does fit in the truck. Those Grumman vans come in a variety of lengths, and I still don’t know how they determine the lengths. And I can confirm that the doors can not fully open when in the van. I figured it out on paper before I bought it and it should’ve fit. But, we couldn’t get the car over to the right side far enough. And then we forgot to take into account the vans sliding door pockets. So, no , you can’t open the car door when inside the van. So I had to install a floor mounted winch to pull it in and out with. Lucky for me that my car is a manual, so we put it in neutral when winching it.

    Doc Brown van

    Here are a few more pics of my replica van. A floor mounted winch is used to pull the car in.
    The plutonium box is just the original vans glove box, just modified to look like the real deal. I spent too much time on that feature, but the kids (and nerds) will love it.
    As we built it, we coined and often used the term WWDD. (What Would Doc Do?). So we labeled all the dashboard switches with the same labeller that he used on the flux capacitor.
    If someone could explain to me how can I prevent the photos from coming up sideways, I’d appreciate that. I’m using my I phone, instead of a home computer. .78A59666-99F4-41E6-8ABD-DFDB90B0602B.jpg03519716-D4D1-4056-A0BF-9013B5940075.jpgA0DC9948-D36B-4666-8D32-6B8407F19102.jpgE5067806-B9AD-4629-B1E3-05AB110EA0A3.jpgBE6AD818-94BD-41C8-B20B-F74E52DDBD99.jpgE0A6BDB0-1865-403B-9E32-A71404C756F3.jpg

    No new updates as we haven’t had any car shows to take it to yet.

    There was a few car shows here over the summer when Covid #'s were a lot less. My buddies Delorean was obviously a big hit. I can't imagine rolling up with Docs van hahaha people would lose their minds!
