Debuting the boogie van at Heavy Rebel Weekend

Looks great!

 

very cool

 

Yea I think it needs some supremes on it also we have been kicking that idea around. I just dont want to rush the wheels it can make or break a project

 

Nice van I have one also

Looks great!

I agree with the need for some shiney wheels like astro supremes, chrome o.e. wheels, or even chrome smoothies with bullet caps.

Yea the boss lady saw some chrome smoothies and said I should get those because they are half the money of a set of supremes now lol

 

I'm diggin' it!! Dang nice, I mean DANG SHO' NUFF NICE!!!

 

Disco Stu would be proud ! Im diggin it ......

 

Are you staying at HRW through Sunday night? My band's playing the main stage sometime that evening (not sure what the sched is yet, but we'll be there!). We have another gig on Saturday so will miss the car show again this year. :-( Safe travels and have a great time at HRW!

What paint did you use? Looks sweet!

 

Looks great. I look forward to seeing it at Heavy Rebel

 

I could see the spider caps, I think redline tires would look cool.

But even as it sits I like it, Corvans are cool. Is this considered a Greenbriar?

 

Well from all the knowledge I have gained in the two months I have owned it lol. The greenbriars had side windows like p***enger vans and this one is a corvair 95(thats at least what all the chrome thats in the glovebox says lol) they also made a pickup called a rampside

 

SO it looks like a few of us will be heading out for this little shin dig. Do we all want to meet up and put faces with names while were there?

 

We will actually have a booth inside during the show, and we will be around he van as well as taking pics for various magazines during the car show

 

I talked to my painter about the color on the van since so many people asked and this is what he used:

I took a PPG 2008 KIA Color and mixed a little HOK KBC05 and HOK BC04 Mixed in to make it POP. I think it turned out alright?

 

Damn man, damn.


That rocks...!

At least you didn't wind up with a turd engine like mine is.

I could use a good set of 80 or 95 heads for any lurker/Vair nuts out there...


Here's mine, a Greenbrier "Standard".

All Corvair vans are 95's. It's because they are all 95" wheelbase...

A cheap shameless plug!!!

 

Awesome lookin van! Any updates or interior shots?

 

those vans rock! the neighbor had one of those rampside vans that ended up being our bike jump one summer! years later i found out the reason he let us was he was tired of us running into his caddy.

 

I dropped it off with Jimm at three R's upholstery in greenville monday to get the front seat and headliner done in diner seat material we should have it back the first part of next week with completed interior shots


It also won best truck at Heavy Rebel Weekend at its debut. Then when I was driving it back to Florida I had a blow out on the drivers side front and damaged the rocker a little. I guess if you are going to drive them stuff happens

 

oh here is a picture of the dash my painter surprised me with

 

Excellent!

 

That's *****in'...now I am gonna have to find one...dare to be different

 

Thanks man there are several of us here on the group with these vans I really dig mine it makes a great rolling buisness card
