Here is our 1979 ford van. We purchased new. We have installed Three different interiors over the years. It has had three paint jobs. The most recent paint was done by Smiths Body Shop in West Salem, WI. The air art was done by Brush Talks. The interior was done by ourselves and with help from friends.
