I had so much fun editing this vid. Thanks for sharing your awesome van and a bit of your story. PS you’re the first person I’ve smacked upside the head on my channel. Hahaha.
@@BecomingBev I loved that that's what had me cracking up so much really did look like a Three Stooges moment! It's something I definitely would have done.lol
I don't usually laugh out load sitting alone watching RUclips. When you slapped the mosquito and the two of you started laughing I laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes. Thank you for being Bev. You brightened my day.
A big thank you for interviewing Chris & his amazing van. What a talented, creative & nice man! This video was fun to watch Also, thanks for being kind & not interrupting people when you're listening to their answers!! ❤
Once again you have found your way to what we in the car show world call a peoples choice. Chris did an amazing job of personalizing his van to his taste and creating a look that is trend setting while still paying homage to the past culture. His details are impeccable and the rarity of the items on this van make it a peoples choice. Great job Chris! Great video Bev, I'm glad you chose this van for your tour as its truly one of a kind. I myself spent 30 or more min just looking at all of it and still missed many details covered in your tour. Looking forward to your next.
Real nice understated hotrod. He's manages to retain its original feel despite all the extras. Maybe it's the relatively plain paint job and lovely colour. It's very much an expression of Chris's individuality too on the inside and I'm not surprised it won a prize. Thanks for sharing Bev. Happy travels 😜
Hello from nyc ,you did good with the decor it looks super cute def 70's look , all the little gadgets and personal things (the tassels) are a nice warming touch
What a awesome video. Love the vans. You always entertain me with your videos. That would be so cool to go there with all those vans. Your a lucky girl.
Always fun to watch your videos .... since my van got totaled, I have to live the "van life" through RUclips. Some day hope to be back on the road ... until then, thanks for enjoyable episodes !!
There are still some deals out there. I couldn’t believe it when Chris said he paid $900 for this van. I just found a Facebook group called Cool Full Size Vans For Sale…. It’s kinda cool to just scroll through and look.
That's a nice van! There's a neighbor that live a few blocks from me, that has a 1970's custom Dodge van - what a time capsule! I remember when I was a kid, we all wanted a van like that.
This van reminds me of back in the 60/70 when it was a “thing” to customize vans. Big blue is so pretty. Great video! oh my gosh, I laughed so hard when you hit the side of his head! Cracked me up. Oh I can’t wait for Ohio! It’s going to be fun. See ya on the road. Deb
yeah, remember the airbrush art on the vans? i remember when i was a kid, there was a van in town with a huge, beautiful, fierce, very realistic airbrushed eagle, talons out, coming down to snatch a tiny cartoon mouse at the bottom of the van, that was looking up with it's little middle finger raised to the eagle. fancy font letters arched over the whole scene read: 'LAST ACT OF DEFIANCE'. made quite an impression on pre-teen me, since decades later i remember every detail ☺️.
There are a lot of airbrush art vans still around, many of them show up at these truck ins. The van you described is definitely memorable. Lol Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Love the vans, use to have a 1957 Dodge Panel van that I rebuilt and used as a camper, drove it from Alaska to the east coast, loved it and got lots of attention...
I chose this van because it was a newer van, but it looks 70’s. Such a cool look. I found a Facebook group called Cool Full Size Vans For Sale…. It’s kinda fun just scrolling through.
I missed this one last week! (Was up in the porcupine mountains without signal for a week which was amazing by the way.) This is such a cool van! He did an awesome job incorporating so many special memories! Thanks for sharing! 😊💙
Hey Bev, just got back from seven weeks on the road so missed a few of your videos! Saw your interview with Bob and I see your channel has GROWN!!! Congratulations!🎉
Hi there I was just watching your sad video I just subscribed. And thought I'd watch this one and you guys had me rolling with laughter I needed that thank you! Love the 70s van btw
Hey Bev!! It's been a while. I have to catch up on your videos. Wow, I love this van! The first word that popped in my head was GROOVY!! He did an amazing job. :-)
I know a Minnesota mosquito joke (beg pardon if I tell it badly, I'm from California)! Two mosquitos were flying together when they spotted a man in a canoe on the river below. One mosquito said to the other: "should we eat him here, or carry him home and eat him there? The other replied: "Here, because if we take him home, the big guys will take him from us."
@@BecomingBev Good morning Bev! You do a wonderful job, it’s quite obvious people are very comfortable when you interview them. Are you still heading west have you made it to the Badlands?
I have a set of near complete rust over mirror s in physically perfect condition for a rust bucket . Evenly rested . All metal of course. If anyone would like a set. I just couldn't bring myself to refinish them. And I bought another identical new set. Truck and Van style. I've saved them for someone with an old school truck er van.
@@BecomingBev "seedy"? Blue lights show all of the "shots". A blue light is a useful tool for motels or AirBNB...you might sell it as an upsell for your venture.
Thank you so much for this! I am honored that you chose to do a segment on my van. Thank you so much!
I had so much fun editing this vid. Thanks for sharing your awesome van and a bit of your story.
PS you’re the first person I’ve smacked upside the head on my channel. Hahaha.
Beautiful van💙. You sound like Tom Hanks. I would love to see it in person someday. Stay safe and TFS💖
@@BecomingBev 😂🤣
Absolutely well deserved awards, and to be shared on the 'net man - this is one of my favorite short chevy's...!!!
@@BecomingBev I loved that that's what had me cracking up so much really did look like a Three Stooges moment! It's something I definitely would have done.lol
I don't usually laugh out load sitting alone watching RUclips. When you slapped the mosquito and the two of you started laughing I laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes. Thank you for being Bev. You brightened my day.
I love your comment so much. I’m laughing sitting here thinking of you laughing.
I love that they accept anyone with a van. Rusty,custom whatever....what a great community!
I loved how everyone was loved and included. Some people you might normally walk right past… not here.
I'm so happy you took us behind the scenes with this van build. My husband really wanted to hear from the owner.
Oh good. You are very welcome.
A big thank you for interviewing Chris & his amazing van. What a talented, creative & nice man! This video was fun to watch
Also, thanks for being kind & not interrupting people when you're listening to their answers!! ❤
Thank you Helen. I try not to interrupt but sometimes i get excited. Lol. Listening is a skill.
OMG, I Love his van!! So cool!
Thank you Sally, me too.
Awe that's awesome! I love the 70's to boot!!! 🕺🕺🕺
Thank you… the 70s had a good look.
Awesome I've been following this build since the beginning. ✌%
So cool. I was a bit surprised at the small changes or evolution of a few of the vans, even since the van show in May.
Keeping the past alive is so kool. Great video had a blast!!!!
It is cool.
Thank you for taking us along with you to see these cool vans!
It is my pleasure. Thank you for watching.
I like seeing modern van life meet 70s van culture!
It’s a great combination.
Hi Bev. You are doing a great job on the van reviews. You have picked some nice ones.
Thank you Gordon. I appreciate the feedback.
WOW !!!!!!!
LOOOVVVVE THIS VAN !!!!!!!!
Hello from Northern Wisconsin!! :)
So you're 70's decor also...cool....
Hello right back. I loved it too. I think what’s he’s done with it is amazing.

Looking forward to your next.
Thank you Steve O. That means a lot to me coming from you.
@@BecomingBev For those of you who missed it, Bev did an awesome interview with Steve O on a previous Video, during Spring Fever in May 2021.

Lol That mosquito… Thanks you!
It’s really cool to see so much joy in a van . Nice!😁
I’m finding that van people really bond with their vehicles.
@@BecomingBev ❤️
Inspiring 💙
I agree.
Chris' van is so awesome - I was able to finally see it in person back at the 2018 Nationals...
So cool. It’s amazing how the vans evolve…. A little here and a little there.
Real nice understated hotrod. He's manages to retain its original feel despite all the extras. Maybe it's the relatively plain paint job and lovely colour. It's very much an expression of Chris's individuality too on the inside and I'm not surprised it won a prize. Thanks for sharing Bev. Happy travels 😜
I love that you watched and took a moment to comment. You’re right it very much encompasses his individuality.
What a cool Van!.. I probably would have picked it too... I love the color!Thanks for sharing Bev!...
I loved doing this video.
Very nice💙. Great interview, Bev. Stay safe and TFS💖
Thanks so much❤️
That's a very interesting van, thanks for the tour ,see your shilling picking up tidbits of information and tips 🌷💕 take care

Hey Bev....good job on the interview. You are a natural. ♥️ Bev R.
Awe… Thank you. I’m learning.
Hello from nyc ,you did good with the decor it looks super cute def 70's look , all the little gadgets and personal things (the tassels) are a
nice warming touch
I think he did a great job and like you I love all of the little touches.
I'm having a hardcore flashback seeing all that shag carpeting. Where did I put my Hang Ten shirts ..
I hope it was a good flashback.
I love them vans! I did plenty of good and bad things on them. Hahahaha
I love that you interviewed some of the owners. Cool
It was fun…
Nice tour! Beautiful van😍
Thank you… I think so too.

Hi, Bev 🙂 thats great Van. It's so much possible, if there a Vision. Take Care
From a plain empty cargo van…. I love it.
That's a nice van!
There's a neighbor that live a few blocks from me, that has a 1970's custom Dodge van - what a time capsule!
I remember when I was a kid, we all wanted a van like that.
I think time capsule is a great description of some of these vans.
Love the shagadelic vibe!!!
I saw a number sticker that said “Shag Carpet Changed My Life” lol
I met Chris at the 2018 Nat's in Indiana. Real nice guy and the van is very cool also.
I think so too.

@@nonyabizness.original I sure do remember all the air brushing and the interiors where beyond beautiful. Ah, those where the days my friend.

G,day from OZ, I love it, how cool is that but I still like yours more. I always seem to get a giggle out of your clips and absolutely love that😂😊👍🇦🇺
I love the idea of your giggles.
Really cool van. The gull wing makes a nice little porch. Vans are really back in. Maybe they never left.
I think you’re right. There’s been a new surge.
Love the vans, use to have a 1957 Dodge Panel van that I rebuilt and used as a camper, drove it from Alaska to the east coast, loved it and got lots of attention...
It sounds awesome. I’m sure you have lots of memories.
@@BecomingBev It was a bit underpowered with a flathead straight six engine, but ran well! Had four wheel drive and wasn't fast, but a hoot to drive!
I love his fan and I love that door he has on it that's just the fob billows all I could do was laugh when I saw all the Shag total 70s thank you
Lol right… I saw a number sticker that said “Shag Carpet Changed My Life” It was my pleasure to share this vid.
Nice van take care and take it easy and enjoy it
Thank you David.
I love older vans. I swear my next will be a 70s or 80s. I’m only getting 15mpg now with the ExpOverlander. Simmmmmplicity!
I chose this van because it was a newer van, but it looks 70’s. Such a cool look. I found a Facebook group called Cool Full Size Vans For Sale…. It’s kinda fun just scrolling through.

Awe… You chose very extreme vids. I’m glad you ended with laughter, in the end it really is the best medicine.
That was awesome!
I thought so too.
Love it, noticed it is a G20 series like my 95. Very very cool!
Yes!!! Very very cool
I truly lmao when you killed that mosquito on the side of his head then showed him. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol… I didn’t want him to think I slapped him upside the head for no reason. Lol
Good morning beautiful
Good morning John
Hey Bev!! It's been a while. I have to catch up on your videos. Wow, I love this van! The first word that popped in my head was GROOVY!! He did an amazing job. :-)

Back in the 70’s, my ex mother in law gave us a bedspread just like that only in purple. Lol
