🚐 Episode 28: Windshield Surgery + Vintage Van Flashback! 🛠️

Welcome back to the ultimate 1985 Chevy Van rebuild journey! In this episode, we tackle one of the most satisfying transformations yet — removing the old, weathered windshield and prepping the frame for a fresh install. Years of wear and tear meet their match as we grind, patch, and finesse the metal to perfection. It’s a full breakdown of the process, from the first bolt to the final seal, with a deep dive into the craftsmanship that makes this classic van era so unforgettable.

But that’s not all — we take a nostalgic detour to revisit my legendary 1976 shorty van build from the early 2000s. Built from scratch with pure passion and a love for the golden age of custom vans, this beast is a tribute to the wild spirit of the '70s and '80s van culture. Think shag carpet, bubble windows, and chrome dreams. If you’re a fan of vintage rides, this flashback will hit you right in the feels.

The vibe is pure retro restoration, with a modern twist. Whether you're here for the technical know-how or the throwback vibes, this episode delivers. From rust repair to windshield install, every step is a celebration of the van life legacy — a time when vans were more than just vehicles; they were rolling expressions of freedom and style.

And of course, no episode would be complete without a little backyard joy — my loyal German Shepherd Dino gets some well-earned playtime while the tools cool down.
