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!

A killer 61 Econoline

I was rooting around on the Internet this weekend and found a bitchen build blog on a Sonoma, CA-based 61 Econoline panel van. Its owner is a guy named Donn Dabney, who happens to own a business called leftcoastclassics (which also happens to be his handle on Car Domain.) Anyhow, if you click over you'll find all kinds of helpful info, including the appropriate wheel sizes and offsets for running Cragar SS wheels. Donn even has listed the largest tire you can run without causing interference. As you can see Donn has built himself one honey of an Econoline, sparing no expense as you'll see in his blog.  Enjoy!
