    I really get into owner induced automotive psychosis, in other words, crazy homebuilt stuff! While my main interest is vans, I believe that there's not a kustom idea that hasn't been tried on a van at some time.

    I linked here from a post at vcvc.org, so I thought I'd jump in and say hi!

    Hey Vanner, you got any pics of your Van? I've been wanting one of those short little 60's Chevy vans for a long time. Especially one with no side doors and only windows in the back. I can't remember what they call em now.

    Sigh - I sure do miss my old Econoline. What's your custom idea?
    Oh yeah, Welcome to the HAMB

    I've been lurking over at VCVC for a long time. I go there about once a week or so. One of these days I'll get me a van for my business. Welcome to the HAMB.

    Bugs are one of the few cars moon hubcaps actually look pretty nice on.

    Nice vans. I've always (secretly) dreamed of ripping out a van interior, and covering it in thick pile carpet with brushed aluminum everywhere. Oh, and painting some flames on the side too. ;)

    Welcome! Great to see an interest in ol skool (70's style?) vans. I had a 65 GMC van in the late 70's. Went all over in it and had a great time! I don't plan on getting another one, but it's nice to see cl***ic vans welcomed at the HAMB

    Hey, I here you! I consider myself an old skooler, but it is good to look outside the box a little bit. I would consider (70's style) custom vans, or even mild custom/ hot rodded cars, up to about '72, a subject now and them on the HAMB (I would NOT consider factory muscle cars in the mix). I was a teenager in the late 60's/70's, and there were come nice custom vans/hot rods/customized cars on the roads then. I would never want to change the base of the HAMB, but it is nice to see pics and talk of custom vans and cool cars from this era once and awhile.
