    Introducing Vantooth











    This was a TMNT van originally, and I've been sitting on a couple of them waiting for the right inspiration. I missed the natural light today. These pictures don't quite do it justice, but I didn't want to wait.

    Obviously Scott Adams' graphics make the exterior. The headlight and taillight stickers are actually disco balls that I resized. On the interior, I just need to get some crystals to stand in for ice in the dry bar in the cab. In the back, there is a mirror that covers the whole ceiling. Probably not a great use of my time as it's impossible to photograph, but I take comfort knowing it's there. Curtains all around to match the commercial, and tiger linens on the mattress. I have one more thing I need, and that's a set of stairs from the Evel Knieval van. I am going to paint them brown and put 'Stairway to Heaven' on the side. They'll be used to enter the van from the side.

    When I take more pics I'll include one of Brick driving around a friend. The glare from my flash is messing them up right now.

    "Don't come a knockin' if this van's a rockin'!" - Brick needs this bumper sticker on the back

                    That is one unbelievable custom vehicle! Where you removed the Turtle head maybe you could put a CB antenna. What kind of paint did you use?

                            Sublime and ridiculous! It was fun making those stickers. The fabrics are perfect!
