NEW hood scoop

New scooped hood on my van. It was to hard to find one so my Dad made me one on his time off. It still needs some finishing up to do but looks great. Let me know if anyone wants one, the plan is to make a few more and sell em.

No van blog can be complete without some art from Boris.





This ones for Nelson

Nelson and Chopper Dave had Earlies (as well as Dean) years before the rest of us decided to jump into the kingdom of the vans. This is from around 2003. He sold it and I have no idea where it is today. 
I still owe Nelson a shirt!!!

Found Fog lamps on my Van

Behind the spoiler I found Some 70's fog lamps. They where mounted where you could not see them and the light just hit the back of the spoiler. I hooked them up and THEY STILL WORK! The bad news was they where super dirty I cleaned them up and they look brand new can't wait to mount them.

TASTY

One Tough Ass Chevy

This van is where I got my tire and wheel inspiration.
I don't know why, but they look bigger in the front on my van than this one. I like them better on the Chevy than on my rig.



Shit from the archives

Sorry for the lag in posts. Sounds like everyone is getting ready for the upcoming Van In. Me included!
