Tom Richey. Sir. You are a genius. You are in a class of your own. Beyond incredible. I love everything about your creations. I wish you good health and happiness to carry-on creating dream machines. God blessed you.
I saw it on the track and warming up ,,. It's NOT fake .. This thing will ripp you right out of your bed , I'll take that bondo with pride and tears that would be my baby ! Thank you for showing some of your AWSOME life ,,
I saw these guys with Blastro at Norwalk's night under fire a few months ago,,cool show they put on and the burnouts are EPIC! The crew dresses up with wiggs and costumes,,just really cool!!
It's a work of art! Something you never see. Great job!
Seriously incredible build. Would have liked to have seen it with all the doors/hood shut. Where’s the link to show it running?. We demand more! 😃
Cool van, I'd have loved to have heard it running.
Did you ever get to see it run. There's 2 vidoes in the vidoes below this before the comments I'm fixen to watch. If you want I can add a link so you can see it.
Headstone woke me up a few times! Back in the day at the National Trail Speedway I had the honor of bracket racing Headstone! I was in a 4x4 Ford E 350 and they were calling me Swamp Thing!!! Had so good times with these guys!
I saw these cars a couple years back at Beacon Dragway (locates in Paducah, Kentucky). That was my first drag race that I went to. Seeing them in person was cool! Shit, seeing that Astro van race was cool! I had a lot of fun that night.
I've been to your house a couple times with my father. You were building an old army pick up the last time I was there.
14 years WOW !
What dedication man !
Hands down the most greatest Van I’ve ever seen 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽... Thank you very much for sharing the video with all of us.... 🤙🏽🤙🏽
It’s not my style but props on allll that work. You are an artist for sure.
That dude is one hell of an engineer mechanic fabricator.
How much smoke and mirrors?
Blastro: A lot
We had a guy that used to come out for KCIR fastest street car nationals called bad attitude, that was back in the 90's. Love seeing these being made into pro mods.
I still didn't get to see the
"Smokin mirrors" he was talkin about. 😂
This should be made into a hotwheels

@@marlotaisgone not like this thing
Hot Wheels already has an Astro van drag model.

...........My favourite part is "it's definitely not comfortable"......... Outstanding!
Craftsmanship stands out. Beautiful details.
Dam looks like some special hot wheels collection.

This is that Oldman swag right here!
He says “smoke a mirrors” to much we understand my guy.
I came to check out the van but now what I really want to check out that RV
saw this guy run at pittsburgh keystone raceway real nice guy!
Seen this Van years ago at night of thunder national trail
I worked in the Baltimore GM plant, from 93-2000, where these were built. Funny, they didn't look like this. LOL!!!
i like what you do , good luck for the next
I would have have heard it start and run, outstanding look.
I still have your signature and photo of the blastro in my room
Dragway 42! I got Don Garlits autograph there back in the 80s. Great memories! Great van! ( I'd pay to be a passenger for 1/4 mile sub 8 second run!)
Wade Guidry ...if I heard correctly, he stated that he's running 1/8 mile....that's getting on down.
im from gahanna ohio. i remember this van, along with one called "no doors". we use to go to van slams years ago! good times.😄
This thing is just insane...love it!
Absolutely awesome - build and set up.
I love the camper custom toy hauler, GREAT use of a P30 truck
Super cool race van but the van pulling it definitely looks a lil beat up. All in all a super cool build and trailer to put it in
You Sir are a genius
I am in my street legal astro just under $300, had too move boxes today
Lol
very nice , congrats , shoulda called it smok n mirriors tho , lol !
That thing is insane!!!...would love 2 hear the thumpity thump of that bad ass v8..
Love it!... Good job, nobody does vans anymore.
Should have named it "Smoke and Mirrors". Very Unique.
This reminds me of the old Zinger models they used to make.
Awesome build here. Why did he not start it up ?
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
That's one fast stealth camper no body would ever know you were sleeping in it🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
That bus is a masterpiece. I give it 10out 10 👍.😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
When a professional struggles for fourteen years to get something done, I don't really think the result is so amazing. But impressive it is, no doubt.
This is just amazing
Love this guy! Great build!
nice, looking van / Random vanners of virginia
Steve that's so cool!!
my respect u do beautyful creations
I think everyone else wants to see it in action
The owner is one of those people that is funny without even knowing it
I would absolutely love to have this van... holy shit it's sick...
You mentioned Claude I'm guessing you mean Claude from Running wild?
hey....u been doin the vanner thing for a bit......ever heard of the chesapeake vans clb from the mid/late 70's? they were in southern maryland
Always wanted on of these rigth back too the late fifies, ans would still love to own one! Its a nice dream but i doubt at 74 I will every get thT chance.
Therevwasvsomeyhing about them that just took my fancy, they lookedva cool way to travel.
I doubt that there are many left in the world, but it would be great to get hold of a set of the plans and build it from scratch, maybe put a motorcycle enging and gearbox in.
Shame when you have the time and know how but a lack of funds, good to see one on the road a you dont see them in Australia.
He’s going back backwards @80 miles an hour into tomorrow,funny brilliant guy
only reason to go backwards 80 mph, is to "go back to the future"
Not "green"? I guess we can excuse you.
That's not a daily driver. 😉👍 Sweet!
I remember this thing when it was flat yellow. Maybe a nitrous motor then?
AWSUM van!!!!!!......great vid Tom!!!!!!!!!
I love it but I've lived in columbus for 35 years and I've never seen your van anywhere. Columbus is not that big. Would love to see in person.
Michael Tavares it used to be at national trails all the time. I remember when it was all primer and the motor was inside the van
you never went to van slam at national trail raceway then. your to late its not going on anymore.

With those skills, you could have changed the world.. But these vehicles are a very good second best.
