Ed Fox's pewter finish VW van... the one with that handmade speedometer!

Keeping a camera handy while out driving about is a good thing, you might spot about anything

 You don't see these on the free way ever, especially far from the rich parts of town... and in the below image you can see how much they stand out among normal cars

 Cute little tiger tail under the trailer hitch

 hand made bumpers... don't see that often in this city with many parts junkyards

from bumper or push bar? And what could you push with an under-powered econo-box?

Even a soccer mom van can be made interesting... found in a parking lot by accident, this one grabbed my attention

Best video and interview of Randy Grubb (Blastolene Brother) artist / maker of the Deco Liner

this is a 15 minute video, and I can't wait to see if the Pulse Jet bellytanker gets to El Mirage. What am I talking about? The interview happened when a pulse jet expert was at Randy's, and they seem to have collaborated on a bellytanker with a pulse jet the power equivalent of the V1 rocket

A former owner spotted his van in a magazine... and on a forum let people know - that is had a 426 hemi from Austin Coil in it

and he wrote "That was my fathers van, It had a supercharged 426 Hemi that we got from Austin Coil when we used to sponsor the Chi Town Hustler. My Father had a van conversion company called Mr Van Inc and that was his "calling Card".

The van of John Jackson ( NotStockPhotography.com) was back at SEMA, new paint, and looking better than last year. It's called the "Boogie Van"

the subtle panel paint is really well done, but doesn't overpower the total look of "Cool" by being contrasting colors or heavy outlined.. well done!

much better looking rims this year

This is one of the coolest awards I've ever seen made

Last years gallery shows it was dark blue with a sweet pinstripe piece on the back doors http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/john-jacksons-van-terrific-photographer.html
