THERE WAS OF COURSE A VAN SHOW at Summerset and I was feeling well then, so I spent quite a bit of time checking out the show....At this point the sun was shining and the wind had let up..This year the council - probably that means Phil Martin -decided to put the show up along the fence line so that locals might get a look at it...It was a good idea.
There was this white Dodge van that caught everybody's attention- including mine...First I noticed the Maltese cross portholes, and as I walked toward the rear I spotted the frenched in Caddy taillights, the molded rear and the factory big window. Then I started my walk around- one of at least 4....There are so many tricky mods on this van that it takes some serious study. From the clever use of diamond plating, upholstered door jambs and the undercarriage - this is a work of art.
Now get this ! The owner- a fellow by the name of Scott Sterner had just bought this van on the net. It was built by R. Boot Leonard from Myrtle beach SC.....This was Scotts FIRST van event and first van show and also his first "Best of Show"!!!
Scott has property in the Pulaski NY area and is going to try to make it up to Lost Memorial Day Weekend...

Glad you like the placement of the show. We thought it would work and that it would show the public what we were all about. Unfortunately we did not get many vans up there. So next year we will be back on the Midway road as before. Scott's van is truly worthy of the BOS award.

Knighty,
Thanks so much for the write up and the compliments on the van. I'm glad to see that my work will still be appreciated, much more than it could have been here, in my garage. Congrats to Scott on his first Best of Show, and I wish him many more!

I was really impressed......Looked it over several times or more....You did a good job ! But sometimes you have to let them go.I miss (sometimes) having the Chevy at the runs but Lucy and I are just too old and fat to fit in it....And Jeff is taking better care of it than I was- and I did pretty good there too.
