Fiberglass!

Issue 5 is sold out! Way to go you sell outs. I'm thinking about doing a paperback collection of issues 1-5. Any takers on a book like this?

I just sent a gullwing off to Canada. If you need a 64-70 Chevy gullwing hit me up. I'm ready to make another. Also just did an econo visor for another vanner in Vanada. I'm also working on a chin spoiler for 64-70 Chevy vans.

Bj's 62 econo project is about to get a D&D disc brake kit and we're making new floor pans.

I had fun at council of councils in Boston. Got snowed in during some record breaking storm. We just partied.

































This old spoiler was rapped in vinyl and I had to get all of the contact cement off of it. A few mods and I'll take a mold.

I never update this

Man I hate updating blogs. No one follows this crap anyway. We're all on Instagram and Facebook right? Well for the sake of makin good use of the bandwidth ill update. Issue 5 is pretty much sold out. I'm looking to release #6 at the end of April at Van Jam 37. It should be pretty heavy on the DIY side with a fiberglass how to, an article on a disc brake upgrade an early econoline, a giant patch panel project on a 62 econo that was hit hard, an article on coops short dodge, Jim yocums gasser econo, a look in to Deez crew and much more.

Issue 5 is at the printer

Vanners! Issue 5 has been sent to print. It's a 2013 calendar plus a few bonus features at the end of it. I kind of consider a year end calendar to be like a year book so I tried to cram as many vans in there while tryin to make it a quality piece and not a jumbled mess. Matt from rolling heavy magazine invited me out to his territory for the Mooneyes Christmas party. We will have a booth out there amongst the very special van parking section. The guys behind the moon equipment company have been in to vans for years. They know its coming back and they have welcomed all 60s and 70s van in to their event this year. We hope to see you there. Check out the webstore for a couple of new patches and order issue 5 while you're at it. Orders will start shipping out mid December.

I'm putting the back issues on mag cloud. You can order through them. They'll print you however many copies you order and mail them directly to you. This way I don't have to front the money and you get the magazines you want. Issue 5 will be out at the beginning of december. I'll be out in california with them for the Moon Eyes christmas party. If you're gonna be out there come say hi! Issue 5 will be a bitchin calendar/mini issue. we're calling it a calizine. It'll be 36 pages total. It will be super cool I promise. If your van is bitchin and you wanna see it in the calendar send me some pictures to : customvanner@gmail.com.

Full pages are $100, half $50, and 2" of the long edge of a page are $25. Email me if you would like to get an ad. Customvanner@gmail.com.

I went up to coop's house this weekend and installed a set of gullwings on a 65 Chevy. I'm glad to have that out of the way. I'm still working on billy burketts a100 gullwings.











Coop's A 100 is coming along nicely.

King turds Astro showed up in coop's driveway with a burnt up rear end.





Vance's astro is for sale if you have 5 grand. This is a mean mochine.






I finally finished the aluminum dash skirt for a 52 chevy truck at work.
