Due to the time constraints to build that van it was WRAPPED. Yes folks...it's a giant decal. We had a local company digitally scan a tie-dyed shirt that the owner wanted matched and wrapped the entire van. That van was built in about 3 weeks. Started as a rusty mess with the quad light grille and trashed interior.This was built as a gift for the customer's brother's birthday. This was all hush-hush. The customer bought a van from Ebay and it was a little worse than imagined. The rear doors were hit and sprung and wouldn't close. The slider wouldn't close. The spare bracket was bent. It needed engine work and a transmission. It was a mess. The brother did not even know we were working on a van for him. We delivered it to his bd party and he was so suprised! That was a cool feeling!!! <small>[ July 14, 2006, 08:32 AM: Message edited by: clean cut creations ]</small> | | | Re: new van builder from st louis #84830 July 07th 2006 10:29 am | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 Vanaholic | Vanaholic Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 5,168 | Very nice work..I love the old panels fact I think I may have seen the silver 64 Bread Sled in Indy at a show..is this person from St.Louis? | | | Re: new van builder from st louis | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 8 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 8 | </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by vanatic05: <strong> Very nice work..I love the old panels fact I think I may have seen the silver 64 Bread Sled in Indy at a show..is this person from St.Louis? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The customer that we built the "BREAD SLED" for does live in St Louis.
