Yeah, it's very addictive!

 

no i like them, im saying that every TV SHOW with a DBAG on it has one or is BUILDING one, being something that every hipster wants is a big turn off, once they are not coool i will build one.

 

Just think about the fab work that goes into those things. I mean they look like they are just thrown together, but they have to have a whole lot of work in them.

 

A few years back I was trying to get a 53 Olds 88 from a co-worker. He only wanted $1500 for it, and it had a nice patina to it. I was going to basically keep the body as-is, but somehow stuff a Dodge chassis with a 5.9 24v and six speed under it, and have some fun.

 

I could live with this one...

 

 

This guy should be a member of FTE. He's got entirely too much time (and money) on his hands....

 

pretty neat that upside down truck, didnt see the kids wearing seatbelts in it though. probably uninsured.

 

I've seen it before, I think it's kind of stupid looking myself but can see how it would draw lots of attention.

 

wonder how people decided what mural they wanted on their vans

 

That craze sure drove up the price of a van back in the 70's, before that they were practically giving them away.

 

There was a huge industry in transforming plain Jane vans into conversion vans.

The Mark VII (and previous versions) were produced by a company just outside of Ocala, Florida. Originally, they were mostly custom builds. But they soon figured out he business, had templates for most everything, and could convert a stock van in about a day (+ paint time). I'm guessing that their shop had 1,000,000 sq feet under roof. It was common to drive down I-75 and see 200 to 300 vans sitting in the yard.

Sadly, that business dried up and Mark VII Industries folded several years ago.

 

Yes there was.

 

whats the purposeof them bars around the rear vent on top that van?

 

Well SOMEONE was thirsty.
