Ive heard that about the vans and trucks. Mark Livrat told me the wagons were impossible to work on since you cant get to the engine. A friend of mine recently restored a rampside pickup for someone and it really looked nice all finished up. Not my cup of tea for sure, but like gopapa said, I appreciate most old cars and trucks now when done up all pretty like =)
