But that bus has a narrowed front beam also. You cant do that to a Vanagon.

But I agree that some of those vans are pretty cool, It kind of makes me want to paint a wizard, or a wolf howling at the moon mural on my van...not really... but maybe a little.

Do not stop at one wolf howling at the moon. You really need a mural of three wolves, howling at the moon. It really gets the women.

Aren't all mythical creatures the same when painted on a van. Is a unicorn more or less cool than the troll/wizard/wolf/fairy/witch/wizard (with crystal ball)/dragon/nome/dwarf, etc.

I'd paint one, but I just can decide on which one yet...

the line has blurred. I guess you dont know you like something until you see it.
hairy breeks: that fifth wheel is absolutely awesome. I see some upstyling of the grillework as well.
wouldnt it be cool to see vw produce a new vanagon for our time, retro with smoothed lines,
just enough to deburr the eighties out a little, like
flush tip windows, etc. 4 wheel steering under 20 mph, etc.
the 5th wheel makes me want to sin and roll heavy, that is, for a vw.
it could probably be done a little more gracefully by a limo co.

This is surely one of the best syncros on the planet. But my GOD it is ugly...

What were they thinking ruining that lovely car with the orange/black combo of death?

The color combo is a bit odd, (maybe Mike Plompen had a hand in it Razz ), but that is an epic build. There's detailed videos of it floating around somewhere, I lost track of the website... anyone got it?

...as far as murals go, I think we need to bring back the Frank Frazetta gothic stuff;
