Started out with one shop, then opened his own as Alamo Conversion. For years he built nice custom vans for customers and local car dealers. As the fad waned, he started doing handicap conversions. Lately with his own health issues, another handicap van shop that has taken just about all his business away through VA buddy-buddy connections (although he can't prove it for any legal recourse), and the economy, he's closing down. I am headed over today to help him sort through 30 odd years of van stuff. Will be posting what we find. Already know some of it is vintage 70's and 80's. | | | Re: Long time van shop in San Antonio closing, | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,256 Likes: 164 Master Metal Sculptor | Master Metal Sculptor Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,256 Likes: 164 | Sorry to hear that. This economy has been really rough on everyone. Hopefully the vanners on here will be able to purchase his inventory and help him in clearing everything out. | | | Re: Long time van shop in San Antonio closing, | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 779 old hand | old hand Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 779 | don't let that van stuff go to trash can.

Hopefully he can make some good money out of this on these parts he may have had 30 years and thought were worthless. | | | Re: Long time van shop in San Antonio closing, | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 Festerus Vannimus | Festerus Vannimus Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 | Best of luck to your friend, keep us posted
