Thanks for the compliments. We will be at Carlisle Truck nationals in August, and Butler, Keystone, and Gratz. Can't wait to see everyone!

That is great! Very well done. The leaf band ties it together. It looked good before but this really makes it a classic custom van. Now you need these:  Link to auction I would love to have something like that done to my van in a Garfield theme. I don't have a garage however so custom paint is not a great investment to leave in the weather. Can I ask who did it? Do they have a web page? If you are ever in Blue Earth,MN you need a pic of your van with this guy:

Love the statue Garfield, but I doubt if I'll ever make it to MN.:) The paint was done at "Custom Painting by Cliff & Skip" in New Oxford, PA. The artist's name is Skip Eckert. He is an amazing artist. He was airbrushing vans back in the seventies, and was really excited to be able to work on another van after all these years. They mostly do cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
The shop doesn't have a website. Their advertising is pretty much word of mouth. We saw some of their work last year at the Truck nationals in Carlisle, and got their contact info from the car's owner.
