When I built Metalstorm the owner ran out of money so I gave the van to him in primer even though he still owed me about half of the money that I charged to build it. Years later he did show up at my door with the money owed to me. Quite honestly it all worked out for the best since I can and do paint, but I am not a painter. Recently when looking through the tread of old vans I saw the picture of Metalstorm in it's base color and for me that looked awesome. However Mark's goal was to build a van like Nautilus so the paint work was important to him.

Throughout my years I always felt the Dodge made the best looking van but the mechanics sucked so like many others my choice was Chevy, Ford and then Dodge.

Of the three vans I owned they were all Dodges. The only mechanical problem I ever had was a u joints on the 69. I'll take a Dodge first then a Ford.

Not to change the subject of hijack this thread.I never really cared for the Poo Bah that appears under my screen name.
Thinking a little bit on it now.One of my favorite cartoon caricatures Fred and Barny .Who I still think are way cooler than any cartoon caricatures that hung out with a certain dog.That I will not bring up here.(This debate really will help to show my age...LOL).
These guys aspired to be a Poo Bah at there Lodge....

It did take a bit more work of the non bolt on variety.To make my to this day favorite front end look really good.......
CHEVY IS NUMBER 1 in my books

That was my 1st "Van Nationals",not my 1st van event.

Killer looking van!!! Now that's something you don't see everyday, but how much of it is still a Dodge van?


It is better to have Van'd once in your life, then to never had Van'd at all!
