Hi Jan; Yes, step vans are welcome, for sure. The only reason I don't have more on the site is that I didn't have access to any photos. Vans tend to slip under the radar better than buses or trucks, so getting good examples is more difficult. I'll spend so time on your site tonight and see what's th...

Yes and yes. I'm planning a 30-year observation in photos similar to what I'm doing with Grace. That'll be coming in a month or two.

Those young guys must have been pretty desparate to find a 22 window van if they are going to all that trouble to remove a cut-up clip from the roof of a junked bus.

Damn VW nuts.

Eh, I've heard that old cabooses smell pretty bad inside and have no insulation. Mouse habitat in my opinion.

Nope, those three are my entire stock of photos of Paul's '46. I wish I had my camera along some years back when I spotted it being lived in up on Turkey Run Road. Would have been fun to see what the new owners did after Paul enclosed it with a new roof and walls. That roof extension was ~really~ he...

??? I don't see any images, Damien. Do you think you have found some way of uploading pictures to my server that I don't know about? Oh, that's right, "attaching pictures" is my cue to check my email, I'll be right back! Don't worry about missing out on this opportunity, you'll get your cu...

Oops, found another one that should go in this section. Photo 7a: http://www.mrsharkey.com/busbarn/busgfx/grace20.jpg Grace set up as a sales booth at a crafts fair in Taos, New Mexico. Carpets cover the back deck, obscuring the tail tights and tow hitch. A strolling musician entertains Prakash betw...

One last interior image, one that I found this morning after digging through some prints and scanned for inclusion in this phase of the photo session: Photo 7: http://www.mrsharkey.com/busbarn/busgfx/grace16.jpg An overall shot from the back door. The flooring is the same as the ceiling, "Thrif...

A couple of more photos of the early Grace: Photo 4: http://www.mrsharkey.com/busbarn/busgfx/grace13.jpg A photo of the completed back porch, showing the wood bin and utility cabinet next to the rear door. This photo was taken on a trip to Manhattan Beach, California if I recall correctly. Photo 5: ...

It's probably no secret that Prakash's bus 'Grace' holds a special place in my heart. His bus has been an inspiration from the first time I laid eyes on it. Much of what I learned and believe about art, decor and bus/truck life came from Prakash and Grace. The roofline of my Crown was inspired by Gr...

Oooh, I must have been really tired when I read that post. I spent all that time looking for "Cabin on Wheels" by David Pearson...

Don't worry about me, I was granted immunity when I gave John Ashcroft your name and address....
