Nice shop, and it's cool to see someone who still messes with old style vans! I'd love to have one myself some day.

Van interior pics are a must now. :beer: I always like vans back in the day but never had one. I'm kind of glad to see them coming back and would like to have one for myself, customized of course. The only one I don't really care for is the Econoline (sand blasted one) with the extension on the raer. I think the extension just takes away from the style. My dad and I had three different Econoline pickups over the year and driving those flatnoses was a blast. One van I like on TV is the Vonnage Van and the other is the one where they steal the guys gum. Can't remember that commercial right now though. All nice looking vans yoiu have though and glad to see it is a family thing :thumbup: :beer:

I'll snag you some interior pics, I'm was not fond of extended one either at first but it grows on you, the coolest thing is that it is a 8 door and very rare in supervan so I'll give a little to get a little :thumbup:

Nice looking vans! I don't have kids, but I think I'd be afraid to have my teenage daughter driving a van w/o windows in the back... way too much room in the back...
