Like many show stoppers sometimes they
are preserved for a decade or two and then brought back out for
a whole new generation to appreciate. When a craftsman like Randy
Pelc builds a show van, you can mothball it for a dozen years
and expect it to age very well. The new owner has updated it
very nicely and I am sure the new generation will take to it
quite well. I will try to get the whole story on Heavy Metal
soon.
The first pictures are from the 10th Nationals taken by my buddy
Bill a.k.a Ace of Spades. The most recent were taken this year
by Bob the second owner of this great looking van. |
