Why build your own Van when you can buy one?
Well...
"if you have to ask...you probably wouldn't understand." says it all.
Actually,
Look at any custom built van, and you are not only looking at someone's vehicle,
you are looking at their creativity, lifestyle, skill, character and individuality.
No vanner can ever be accused of being content with fitting in with everyone else.
Why Vanning? Wasn't that a 70's / 80's thing?:
Maybe...but we like the fact that we can park anywhere we want and spend time with the family. We don't have to worry about motels, hotels, or WAY overpriced lodges.
Nothing beats waking up in the morning overlooking a bluff or overlooking the ocean!
NOTHING!!!!
Now, considering how much of a pain travel is with the "terrorist threat"...a van is the perfect way to travel with a family.
On the Road:
On the road the van handles well. A bit front heavy with the rake and sizes of the wheels....but for something that heavy, it is really great to travel in.
How does it trailer:
The van trailers great. I pulled a 27 foot Sea Ray, 9 - Canoe Trailer, Motorcycle Trailer, Flatbed Trailer, Bobcat Trailer and even a Water Buffalo. It handles exceptionally well.
Electronics:
The Battery Buddy was the greatest thing since rock and roll.
Next, dual batteries will allow more lighting and better power.
Windows:
The murals are not done yet.
I have done several buddies' truck and van windows...
and they have referred me to their buddies.
It seems now that I do not have any time left to do my own anymore.
Engine:
WOW!!! What a difference a new mill makes.
Gone are the days of low oil pressure...fried valves and no power.
Suspension:
Long live the forward rake!!!!
Gotta love the "old-school" look.
Wheels & Tires:
Cragar S/S : Front 15x8, Rear 15x10 Reverse Offset
BF Goodrich T/A Radials: Front 235/60R15, Rear 275/60R15
...'nuff said
Exhaust:
Some say that they can't hear themselves think when they are next to the van.
I SAY...
If they are carrying on conversations with themselves...
they have bigger problems than my exhaust!!!
