All my life I've wanted a van. They are the coolest vehicles ever and by far the most easily customized. No two custom wagons are ever the same, and thats what makes vanning so awesome. Finally after weeks of searching through the trader mags with a bloated runaway budget or 400 dollars. I traded my old, rotted, 7 clylinder running, 200 dollar 87' chevy sierra for this baby. When I brought her home she was white with faded construction signs. What else could I do but paint it flat black? After all, this is no import we're dealing with.
I did some paint work on the inside too, the doors (the ones that weren't rusted shut) and the dash. Thats right... I painted the dash. Just recently I added a Cb radio that I picked up from a local flea market. It has a p.a. function too so I can shout at people on the street. My handle is Lone Wolf.
After some insulation and leak fixing, I promptly built a full double bed frame in the back and threw in a mattress. Add some curtains (hand sewn I might add) and boom, instant party wagon =) Note the mirror on the ceiling, and rear curtains. By the way the very first install on my rig was a police siren under the hood so I could whistle at girls.
It's still very much a work in progress, but I can't wait to show off my baby. Every week, and every paycheck more stuff goes into the van. My next paycheck will go towards a drag racing cam, and some engine upgrades. I'm also planning on dropping the front end, and jacking up the back with some bigger tires.
I'm looking for other vanners in the Niagara Falls area to start up a van club. If interested, email me at niagaravanclub@hotmail.com for details. Keep on Truckin!
