    It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to be era-specific when outfitting one's van. I like how you take ideas and parts from all different eras just because you like them. I especially like the church key antenna holder. Made me laugh out loud. Pure genius! I'm also touched by how you incorporate your family history into various areas. Great job! Keep on vannin bro!

      Thanks Man that means alot!! Glad you like the Antenna tie down, I just wanted something with some flare instead of that plastic one and just came up with that one out of the blue..probably had too many beers working on the van that night!

    Big Blue is the very best I have seen so far. Thanks for the great advice about the dash and seats. Especially the words of wisdom about cutting holes. I recently bought a 79 G20 and having to remove the entire original interior. Mold and Mildew where it sat in one place on a wooded lot for 11 years. Your van has given me inspiration! Thx

    Hey mate. Nice to see your Chevy Van. you quickly take me back to the late 70's and early 80's yes. Those were good days at that time, a completely different environment then, we had much better personal contact we who were friends. yes, in a small town, where we were 4 -6 groups of friends of about 3 to 12 friends in each gang. Yes we always had something to do, it was always best to be the toughest gang. toughest? yes, it was, for example, befriending a girl friend, or inventing cool things such as inventing things no one else was able to accomplish. asked the deaf you look perfect as one of us guys. you. yes we went around in small places had with guitars gathered people in new places, that it was so good after visiting a place where the youth talk loudly about us afterwards, to dig our car. our tough "Daddy-Ccool. has hundreds of stories from that time

    Nicely done, and your back wing is actually a dust reflector the old station wagons, Jeep Wagoneers and a good handful of SUVS. I've always thought they would make a good wing lol . I had a Isuzu trooper that also had the back dust reflector above the rear doors. My favorite place here in Missoula is a home resource they have a little of everything, plus antique and thrift stores is a good place to find oddball things. I've also had luck finding some things at a donation furniture and appliance store. This summer I got a thinner queen size mattress that looked like new out a RV or camp trailer for like $20. I'll cut it down to a full size to fit but no springs and a full length zipper. I've also think a front loader wash machine or dryer have round thick bubble windows that might make good side porthole windows lol
