I'm old enough to remember them when they were new. What a blast from the past. You have done it justice Shannon. Good job.

Cute - I remember them more as the highly decorated "hippie vans" from the late 60s. Get it painted with peace signs and drive it to Woodstock. Haven't seen one for years.

Nice! Van looks great! Love the color. Cool to see I'm not the only one that likes tinkering with classics in my spare time. Best part is I can hear Turkey podcasts while I work in the garage!

It just struck me, Shannon, that I had taken and kept this pic. It's from this past summer and it's a frame pulled from a video. So apologies for the photo quality. But I'm glad this isn't the direction you took.............. :toothy12:

Worked on a few of them in my younger days. Had a 67 bug that I chopped and built a 88cc engine for. Heads from a square back and dual crabs. Nice job on the restore Shannon.
