I really like the pic with the white stripes. I'm just way too "Old School". Very well done. :supz:

Thanks guys, I was very surprised to be VOM. Never would have happened with out the influence of my dad years ago. I just wish the van scene was as hot as it was back when my dad was into it late 80's-early 90's. Not sure if it will ever come back, but I'll keep working on mine, and hopefully one day it may work its way into a Truckin mag. They need vans in there, c'mon!
