James, Good to "see" you on the Forum!
Don't forget, you still owe me a garage tour.

That last Zip Van pictured is not totally correct. Most that I have seen in the last 20 years are painted incorrectly. Refer to an original Zip Van or pictures of a new Zip Van when restoring.

The red that separates the white and the blue is not supposed to be paint at all. Reflective Scotchlite was used originally.

A reflective red strip would be correct, but I think that it would also be illegal to drive most places.

In the one pictured, I was noticing the bumpers that should be blue and the hub caps that should be white. There may be other detail items.

I know I definitely intend to have one... being a mailman I would actually try delivering mail with it during nice weather[8D] And, it would be a great dual-promo tool for both my job and the Marque[^]

I'll want to start with one that's already pretty decent. I've got a casual eye open
