John's Overhaulin' Chevy van at the Council of Councils vanner convention in Anaheim Ca.

Sometimes everything seems like it just falls into place. Getting John's van to the Council of Councils was a task on it's own. They were not quite sure when exactly the van would be back to them. We had a two day window of opportunity available to us. I spoke to Dani a few times on the phone and in a few emails trying to get the van for the Friday show. But they were only getting it back Friday now so the best we could do would be during the break of the CofC meetings Saturday. One final call to Dani Saturday morning and all was set for them to arrive at 1200. It was 11:45 when someone came to me during the meeting to let me know the van had arrived. I was just finishing up talking about getting custom vans into the magazines ... We adjourned the meeting for lunch and all went out to see the van and meet the whole family ! John, his wife, Dani, "the son in law" and their lovely daughter. The family spent 1 1/2 hours in the hot sun talking with the very appreciative vanners.
The van is even more amazing when you see it in person, that was the consensus. The pictures can tell the rest of the story:
