    Been lurking and getting the rules down for a while now, even posting cautiously as a FNG, but never did this part.

    I'm from Havertown Pa, right outside Philly (Go Phils) and work in the communications field as a creative director at an ad agency. I grew up in the car repair and front end alignment business my Grandfather started in 1935, and I love anything automotive that takes me baqck to that time. I currently am interested in commercial trucks and vans of the 50s and 60s with an automotive history...for example. my current project is a 67 Dodge A100 that spent its early life as a push vehicle at local area dragstrips, most notably the now extinct Vargo Dragway in Perkasie, PA.

    Thanks for letting me join. Peace.

    Thanks for the welcome guys,

    Havertown is in Delaware County, Southeastern part of the state, older first ring suburb of Philly.

    Hotrodsurfer, I go to Vargo every year, most years with the old van, as it spent a lot of time there in the day, past year I didn't cause it's in my buddy's paint shop (never expect it done on time from a friend!)

    Mikevango, what kind of van you got? For me the van intersect a lot of interests, the commercial vehicle thing, the shop truck thing, the 70's culture thing. But mine is trying to be something of a hot rodded but original shop van from the late 60s. Weird, I know, but it a man's gotta have an interest and passion outside work and family, right?
