Mt name is Cory, I am the owner/Operator of Olson Customs located in the small town of Cottage Grove Oregon, We specialize in Mid 60's Mercury car and Trucks(yes they made mercury trucks) as well as t buckets and other Hot/Rat rod stuff. I came by my astro (Eythl) by chance as a friend of mine who owns a shop in town could not get it to run right, his cutomer frustrated just gave it to me .... long story short i fixed it and now i love my Stro and she is part of the family, glad to find a group of folks that love thier vans .
