I totally wimped out on the creativity I had planned for the pup. It's still Disney on the inside, but traditional on the outside.

I did pretty up my van a bit thanks to Hippy Motors.

Love the black paint job. You would think someone living in Nevada would shy away from black! [;)]

I really dig how clean it looks. Even with the grey green canvas.

Hippy Motors? oooh, I must check that out! I love those decals on your van.

Thanks. [:D] It's a great family owned business with very reasonable prices. They always send me some free stuff with my orders. They just recently started a US site, but haven't gotten everything listed on it yet so be sure to check out the UK site too.

Good Point, Colo! lol (& Thank you!) It has really turned out to be just psychological. Of course when you are inside you totally forget you are in a black PUP and I have to say (lucky?) that it seems very well made and insulated. I've touched the interior of the roof in mid-afternoon to check it out... 90F temps... and it's barely warm. pretty much cooler than the temp of the hot air blowing thru it! [8D]

You're dating yourself here...I think that style lettering was made popular by the Beatle's album "Rubber Soul"! [:O]

Nice paint job cuckoo. Would look a little better in silver, blue and and a star on the side, but I won't hold that against you. All of these designs look great. I just finished priming mine yesterday. We are planning a white base coat, with an abstract mountain range in black on the side with grey on the bottom. Will post picks as soon as I am done.

The inside of the Shula Shack is just as spectacular as the outside - if you're a Dolphins fan. [LOL] (It's pretty cool.)

Alright we are almost done with the new paint job, and I just can't wait to post them, so here it is, all it needs is a few more touchups.

Painted, I spent hours prepping, primming and painting the top and bottom. My talented wife painted the black part for me. Thank you for your comments, I am very happy with how it turned out.
