Dunedog does indeed have a cool lookin van,There are alot of nice vans for sure,having it once a month however will give the next VOM reciepeant(sp) a chance to get all their pics and a little write up together on their ride,plus will give Justice a chance to put it all together.

Keep submitting names folks =D>

I think (therefore I am) that maybe we'll alternate a custom with a daily driver. So that one month we get a van like the SPB or ZZ and the next month we will get a more stock van. Then just go back and forth until we ron out of one or the other.

Hmmm as mentioned everyone will end up getting a turn so yah. But for the first van up I say Dean's! Because when people search the web they see this couple stages of the Astro lifted plow and so on.
