Ha, ha. Yes, better last night. It got picked up today, so the nervous feeling has subsided a bit. Still a nervous feeling of the unknown since I've never owned a classic vehicle. Time to learn...

Most of us Chevy owners know the history of this van. He just got the motor finished and was ready for paint then Katrina hit. This is not the worst picture. You'll be happy to know he redid the motor (and the whole van) I'm sure you'll have no issues because of that. He redid everything and Greg does have a eye for detail. So you be more than happy with this van

Yea, I'm fired up! I'm not worried at all. He told me about Katrina. I was kidding about not posting the photo. The Katrina thing, as crazy as it sounds, is a plus. Not too many vintage vans can claim they've survived Katrina.
He said he was working on helping family rebuild, and in between time waiting for supplies, he would "scrub and rub" or something like that for hours on end. It sounds like this is better than it would have been pre-Katrina. Already trying to figure out my plans to make it my own...Should be arriving Wednesday.

I know. My favorite van color. White doesn't really snap off the lines like other colors. These just seem to pop in red (along with everything else.) Not sure of the ultimate plan. We are going to put our logo on it, so I have to decide whether to go all logo or just some logo. I don't want to lose the feel of it being a vintage van.

Taking ad"van"tage of an awesome fall afternoon...I think the boss likes it...(Note Greg's cup holder booster seat.) Got the first thumbs up today from the passenger seat.
