Re: Van of the month - nominations wanted
Well, I've been to the "96" twice and neither time did I get to see the van. It's finally reveled. That's a very well deserved VOM. It's one of those life mysteries as why my van got there before your's. That thing is a master piece. Finished or not. You're my inspiration as you are to so many other Astrosafarian brothers. Congratulations.

Larry is a True 'Old Skool, Hot-Rod kinda guy' who I really admire.... > along with Smiliesafari and SafariRob.
Congratts on making the "Front Page" of ASV Larry ......
I had the pleasure of meeting Larry and his wife Susan, when I flew down from LA on vacation to Central Florida to meet up with some friends, visiting from London.
I drove across FL to meet Christine "DL' and her wonderful family, then I drove 500 miles in 7 hours to Southern Alabama to meet Larry and his Custom V8 Astro, sportin` an Awesome Corvette rear end.

Re: Van of the month - nominations wanted
Larry and I are on the same page in what we like to see in custom modifications, and we love to see them applied to StroFaris.... but body mods always take soo much time if you can only get to work on your van the weekends.... but the final result is truely worth it.
We both agree that grey or white primer is a koool color for a hotrod van to be seen in while under construction....

Congrats Larry sweet van , i just hope we get to see a finished product before to long 
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
