    I think this one needed to get bumped. It contains so much inspiration!

    Yea, it's great piece of work and Big Frank has not been around for a long while now (notice the date on the post boys?)!!

    Never got a chance to know him but seems like a nice fellow as well as ultra talented too!!

    Sorry Frank! In spite of the fact that I've seen your "wireframe" I don't believe it's a drawing [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Marvellous!!

    My guess is it's because of the split windshield.

    Splittie = Split-screen = pre '68
    Bay = Bay window = '68-'79
    Brick or Wedge = post '79

    All come under the banner of VW Type 2 (the Type 1 is the beetle)

    Here endeth the lesson (in very simple terms... it gets a lot more complicated than that! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img] )

    Big Frank - I see on your website that your VW's are part of the family and that they have names. Since the virtual van above is so real it makes sense to me that you should name it too.

    "Splittie" ain't good enough! He/she deserves a real name. (I suggest "Nadia" after the Romanian gymnastics star - she could do the "splits" on a balance beam!).

    Thanks for posting the wireframe wagon. I'm inspired by your creation.

    Regards, Ross
