    the guy i picked it up from decided it was a good idea to cut the roof and put a pop out on it and make the frame out of wood. so i plan on gettin a canvas snap top for it. its to bad he did that the body is super solid. the van is origanly from california still has the black plates on it.

    Man, that first pic threw me for a loop and on a huge wave of nostalgia. I had the same van except my stripe was red. Sigh. I miss that old beast. Looks great. Wish I kept mine and showed it some similar love.
