Sometimes you get volunteered to paint your nephew’s helmets and I gave it my best. Despite being really really really rusty.

"The neighbors are going to complain if you park your van there"

Not if they can't see it.

Hint, it’s behind the tree.

As long as I can remember people have watched me as I doodle or paint something. My latest video is just that: me painting something. I enjoy the entire process of creating from the envisioning to the fabrication to the paint.

Berta Boogie Van, 1972 Fargo Shorty with a 440

I got this project and I have been so excited to get started on it. I tried to do some spirited driving and ended up clearancing the fan through the radiator...

I’m doing a lot of work this week on ”Berta Boogie” and hopefully I can post a pretty decent video out on Saturday morning. Here is a little history lesson on my 1972 Fargo! https://barnfinds.com/canadian-boogie-van-1972-fargo-b100-tradesman/

Ahhhh spring time cruise to lunch with my uncle in his Buick LeSabre Wagon. 350 Diesel!

04/18/2023

Make your day interesting doing mundane tasks like moving bunk beds in your hot rodded van. The ol’ 440 swap is a tight fit and the fan decided to clearance itself when I tried showing off the cacophonous exhaust notes and big torquey power. Whoops. I guess a new rad and fan will be ordered shortly.

Waiting for paint to dry…

Just letting the freshly painted rims sunbathe nothing to see here!

I know the fine folks here are wondering why I haven’t posted anything of real substance in a while. Well, good work takes time. Here’s a little before and after. Yup, under the fake rust is real clean steel!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not one much for country music. In fact, I generally hate it. However when describing this song in an interview Wynchester said “it has been quite some time since satan has been in country music.” You know what, that’s funny, I needed to listen to it. Camioneta loosely translates to van.

Be wary driving down the highway at night as you may have the misfortune of coming across the Camioneta Demon. A possessed satanic boogie van that's here to ...

I found a little bit more junkyard gold today. I have been waiting to stumble across a front plate for Vanellope. I think this might just be the right piece. It looks to be from the future as Florida and South Texas have apparently left the union.

Not my video. But funny.

Back in February I came down with a touch of Bells Palsey and as a result I wasn't confident to do a whole lot of stuff in the DAMN GARAGE. But I did take on...

Originally my son had requested that I do a realistic flame job to his little mini-bike fuel tank. He later decided against that in favor of a tie dye look. ...
