The main reference we use when customizing the Scooby-Doo mystery machine is what
0:05
As luck would have is watching tons of cartoons. For over 10 years, aka junk, has created incredible replicas of TV and movie cars

This is our Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine. We do everything in-house. We do the paint, the bodywork, the decals
1:00
Everything's done right here at our shop. As we walk around, we try to get it as accurate as we can, the cartoon accurate that is
1:07
is. We come around back and we get to see Scooby and Shaggy peeking out the back window looking
1:12
down. A Scooby-Doo tag for the back handle. The famous purple front back bumpers try to be
1:21
as cartoon accurate as we can. Owner Jerry first started customizing classic cars before moving
1:28
on to TV and replica vehicles Over three months the team transformed a 1967 Dodge Van into this well mystery machine Every detail was painstakingly planned to match the iconic cartoon
1:42
As we come around to this side of the van, we get to open up the side doors to reveal the secret
1:48
compartment inside that's rarely shown in the cartoons. We kind of took some creative liberties on the inside
1:55
About 100 feet of LED lighting, and we get to hang out with a gang on the inside of the van
2:02
And a project this size didn't come cheap. I get asked from time to time how much certain cars cost to build
2:12
With my wife sitting in the other room I'd hate to say the true figure. So let's just say that I've got a stack of paperwork this big on most bills and I don't
2:20
ever run a total on any of it for fear of what my wife might actually say to me
2:26
The biggest challenge is on building the mystery machines in sheer size. That's a big van
2:30
When you're talking about doing inside and outside, the roof, the side panels. Overall, I mean, it's just hard to describe something that's that enormous to work on
2:38
So if you do an older car, you're talking about doing two doors. And this car, this van has six doors
2:45
So when you take six doors off and have to replace the door rubber, the paint, the body, and do everything
2:50
I mean, it's a challenge. It's a big project to undertake, but it turns out really, really awesome
2:56
I mean, I'm a guy that grew up with Scooby-Doo, and who wouldn't want to have the Scooby-Doo mystery? machine
