It's not a van but.

Post by Smiliesafari »

Some of you guys will still get a kick out of it. It's a 1970. I've been working on it off and on for about a year. It gets delivered to the customer on Tuesday. The next project to go on the rotisserie is a 1978 280 Z.

Very nice! I've always wanted a VW... probably a baja bug though. Or a bus... (Not being able to decide is part of the reason I don't have one!)

I don`t care for the VW, I`m more impressed with the shop in the backround...... Is that your shop Skippy ?

Thanks for all of the kind words, guys. Yes, Darren, that is my shop. It looks like I need to do a serious cleanup around there. The inside doesn't look much different. \:D/
