I remember seeing that van in my youth. Loved it then, still love it now. Would love to see it in person again.

In my grandparents' neighborhood, when I was a kid, right after the first Star Wars came out, there was this dude who lived there who we kids called "Van Man", because he had a 70's van covered in Star Wars iconography. It was so bad ass. Every time he'd go up and down the street we'd go nuts.

I'm 55 and remember guys fixing up thier vans back in the day but nothing like what you've accomplished. It was a pleasure seeing craftsmanship to this degree.

Cool, innovative, unique and I dig it! There are some way cool custom features that make it stand out without taking away from it's usability. Even on my laptop that paint looks fantastic in quality and artistry. I'm not a Star Wars fan but I appreciate what went into this creation and I'm a fan of the van. Excellent execution of a far out vision!

Wow! Probably the most Beautiful van I've ever seen! Excellent design and workmanship!

What a madness of van, Tom! This 77 Tradesman XL looks huge even with four tires plus.

I had a 77 Dodge Tradesman with a similar 'snack tray' on the front. It had cup holders around the outside and a dropped down center piece.
It was a broken down pos I bought for $700 and brought it back to life. I loved that van.
The first time I filled the gas tank (back then it cost over $50) I almost had a heart attack.

Really awesome build, and extra respect for keeping it this long and running.
My only bitch would be (and I can't believe no one else has pointed it out), that the quote on the hoods wrong. For all the attention to detail, that's kind of glaring.
But everything else is top line. Plus props for the cleanliness of the fabricated parts. They totally flow with the rest of the build. And that art is on point. Too often photo realistic doesn't come off that well.

This is my first time seeing a van limo, but I am a huge fan of comfort, and vehicles of all makes. But vans have a special spot in my heart . Ever since I was a young'n my friends dad had a old school decked out van, with a small bar table, a bed, a Lil fridge and I remember having many fun nights literally filled with laughter. I swear I went in a fat kid came out with a hardened sixpack abs. Thank you for the post

With the current live in a van craze I'm surprised many of these dormant 70's hippy vans haven't been brought back into repurposed service. I'd love to see that one like that brought up to date. It would be cool.

[stevesanford]

This van has held up remarkably well, thanks for sharing this....very cool.

[matthewjohnson]

That is the coolest shaggin wagon I have ever seen, so cool, so cool, so cool.

[clarewatkins]

Loving this van I was born in 1977 n I'm a huge Star wars fan. May the force be with you Full Send U.K.

[SucceedStrategically]

That van is as old as I am..



And it's in way better shape!

[hottubz]

If the Deathstar is rockin', don't come a-knockin'!

[elmowilson]

This Dodge Van simply looks awesomeI never imagined it with 6 wheels. Its owner is crazy

[DaveRyan]

My dad's had a 77 Chevy shorty van that's a badass hot rod for 40 years! So with that said I love Vans at one time we had three Chevy van shorty vans in our driveway I had a 77 my dad's had his 77 for many years and then he had a 76! And with that said I'm not really into super custom bands but that van that you've got I give you unlimited thumbs up I know that took tons of work and it looks pretty cool and Star wars

[charityfjogstad]

Inspirational! Your van is a true work of art! The guy who did your van is brilliant! Love the Star Wars theme inside and out! Masterfully done! Thank you for sharing this amazing work of art with us!
