Just a name change

Post by 1Gary »

I have grown to very much like the name of my project van as "Ole Yellar" and I do think when I ref to it most members here know about the van I am talking about which is the 1985 High Top van you see in the picture.But it had gotten to the point where with the rust repair "could" get it back to a viable van and for me to have a no window cargo I would have to do fillers in the windows too.So I bought a rust free 1989 Florida cargo Astro.

So here is the name change.The 1989 cargo will be known as "Ole Yellar" and will get the conversion top from the 1985.The 1985 will be known as the "shop van" and will be top less this spring for hauling parts and materials,beach runs,and a back-up to the 1994LT if I don't complete a repair to that.I'll keep that at the new rental pole barn.

Thanks for your time.

Think of tit this way it is not a name change just replacing old yellers bad parts.The vin just happens to be attached to one of those parts.My brother and I get teased because some of our restoration cars are so bad.which is kinda what your doing.They tell us the best way to restore that one is take the radiator cap off back it up.Pull the other car up replace cap its restored.Because 98 percent of the car is new when it done.

Now I'm going to be even more confused. Why don't you call the cargo "New Yellar"? :muhaha:
