There's a lot of talk about "Old
School" these days. Some of us old time vanners who started
in the 70's are labelled "Old School". On the other
hand given the choice and some extra coin some of us old timers
may just take our old school rides and slap on some Dubs, bag
it or air ride it, drop it to the ground and throw in a big brand
new crate engine, then I guess we'd have a "Sport Van"
:).
In this double feature we have the best of both worlds. On one
hand we have Chopper Dave who is famous for his old time choppers,
of course he would have an "Old Skool" van. On the
other hand we have Ken Surmon's who runs a collision center,
he wanted something totally different and was inspired by what
he saw here and decided to go where few have gone before and
do a full radical on a Dodge Caravan.
Check them both out I think you will like both very much !
Chopper Dave is known for his Old
Skool Choppers and his appearances on Monster Garage and Motorcycle
Mania. A few vanners have noticed a very cool Econo while watching
these shows.
Well this Econo belongs to Chopper Dave and Muscle Machines has
even made a 1/64 replica of it !
Ken Surmons got an idea from
looking at Showvans. He was building a custom Dodge Caravan,
a vehicle that few customizers have tackled before. He took inspiration
from Never Enough and you can really see that in this radical
Caravan.
I think this van may inspire others to maybe tackle a Caravan,
these vans are very plentiful used and to me surprisingly very
few have tried customizing them.
