Van-Tastic (in a 1970s sort of way)

If you dream of converting an old van into a self-contained, family camper or a "don't-bother-knocking-if-it's-rockin'" swinging singles, shag-carpeted cruiser, vintage 1970s style, this book is going to get you on your way. If you don't know where to start, start here. It has detailed, step-by-step instructions covering everything from installing your own wood panneling, carpeting, fender flares, porthole windows, roof racks, ice box, to the boss stereo system. And of course, how to paint flames and murals on the outside. These folks tell you how to do things right, and include lots of photos, plus a few full color ones of completed, decked-out cruisers to get you inspired on your 70s van vision quest. Doing a full van conversion the right way is a lot of work, and will cost a fair amount of money, but this book will certainly pay for itself if you're serious about going retro with that old empty-shell van of yours.
