THE NEW SHIRTS ECONOLINE PUP SHIRTS ARE HERE!

Ever since we featured Stuart Cofer's amazing Econoline Pup on Vinvanco, I've been wanting to do a T-shirt design inspired by it.  But you can't just steal another man's Pup and put it on your shirt. So we reached out to out talented friend Zombie and asked him to whip his mojo into a design.

When we got the art from him, we were blown away and did a color study that included a lavender version inspired by Lee Pratt's Nomad. But you as much as I liked it, I just wasn't 100% sold that it was the perfect color. 

After spending a little more time with it, I wondered if a gold color might be worth exploring. 

So I asked Eric, my art director who works for Villa Prints to have a go at it. 

 I thought this shade was perfect and hope you agree.  So there you have it, the first Econoline Pup shirt from VinVanCo is now in store for you in very limited quantities. 

There's gold in them there shirts!

Introducing "Custom Vanner"

Issue #1 is sold out, but more are coming. 

David "Matchstick" Brooks is not your typical van lover. I say that 'cuz while many of us love vintage vans, few are willing to take the time and the trouble to create a magazine that pays homage to 'em. David has done just that, starting Custom Vanner not long ago. I recently sat down with issue Numero Uno. I'm pleased to report that while few advertisers have stepped up to buy pages yet, David is off to an impressive start and certainly has our admiration and support. 32 pages packed with color containing finished vans, projects in progress, an interview with Adam Cruz -- co-founder of  The Vandoleros Van Club, hot rod artist, and co-conspirator at the world-renowned House Industries -- as well as an article on the proper way to choose a piece of welding equipment. The result is an engrossing new "little book" no vintage van lover should be without. If you'd like to receive future issues of Custom Vanner, call David at 502 240-9326 and tell him you heard about him from Cameron @ VinVanCo. Or, track him down by name on Facebook. I'll have more to share with you about David and his other products soon, but for now I suggest you get your mitts on the next issue of Custom Vanner. Help support the cause and fuel your passion for "earlies" simultaneously. More to come.
