    We got a new van. Ok, not really, just the beautiful new logos. Enjoy! Tell me what you all think.

    Heaven’s Best of the Rio Grande Valley June 2004 to December 2006.

    December 2006 and beyond!!!!!

    Oops, my shadow.

    Full Frontal.

    I Love the Hat’s, I wear hats on a daily basis. I plan on going bald. Nothing wrong with that of course.


    I plan on taking some more with the back included, I just wasn’t very comfortable with putting my liscense plate up. I guess it doesn’t really matter.

    :mrgreen:


    What problems did I experience with SAR you may ask. Only one—The corporate number was on instead of mine. They apologized and fixed it within an hour. A little sugar never hurt, meaning you get a lot farther with someone or some companies if you take a deep breath, chill out, accept that no one is perfect, regardless of the way you are, and accept that bubbles happen. The signs are under a warranty, according to my sign company it’s a year, and 3M claims the product will last at least 3 years. I’m not sure on those numbers so check with corporate before you go taking my word for it. I had a great experience and picked up business from the owner of the SAR as well.

    Hope all is well, God Bless, Happy Holidays,

    Try convincing my wife of that one. Just kidding. I think we will. I tried putting on the fake wheel covers to no avail. They looked cheaper than the caps we have now. If any of you know where to get some cheap caps that look good, then let me know. I realize if I go cheap than we will look cheap but hey, sometimes you can only spend so much I guess. It is a write off. Just shopping right now, then we will see. I appreciate the posts.

    Repetiton is the mother of all skill!

    How true,,,

    I returned my van to have the bubbles taken care of and a rip in the vinyl where it had split and when I picked it up, it looked absolutely fantastic!!!

    Now only to get the right colors for my son’s van for the front panels…all orange. Not at all like mine or the ones posted here…it will happen.

    The look is now very nice.

    Thanks, Cody.

    It is true about the crome wheels, It does make a difference. In the seminars I attend, I judge the best of the best vans. The best looking van gets the big “Mr Goodbar”. Second place gets two “Mr Goodbar”s and third place gets one “Mr Goodbar” In most cases the differance from first place and third place is the nice wheels. In Oregon like many places in America (including North, North America), the stock rims are reserved for the winter tread and the nice crome plated $1000. rims go on the spring, summer and fall tires. Just FYI. Life is Grand with a good looking Van!

    So, Gordon. Do I win a Goodbar award for overall appearence. Don’t hate me for my center caps. Still looking around. When affordable. We will probably do so.

    The van looks great but without the spiffy wheels in my great states (sorry) it may only qualify for the fun size. Brian Sutton, Bryan Ferris, Bill Newton, and Randy Bailey, all from Iowa all have a van strait from Heaven! They all have very, very impressive vans. Jeremy Child in Portland Oregon has two vans he keeps showroom ready! On a rainny day in Portland (it’s known for it) he wipes down the van in front of the home before approaching the customer. And yes the wheels are polished! These vans are extra great vans with guys putting extra great care for their vans and equipment. I’m very proud of my operators. They are great examples in so many ways.
    And Mike you are not on santa’s notty list! I checked! (only once)

    I polished her up this past weekend, after I posted these pics. I’ll take the fun size for now I guess 😉

    The guy at SAR suggested we get a clear coat put on it, like they do after painting. Some of the Radio Station vans do that to theirs and we went by looked at it and it looks like a professional painter painted on the logos. I thought this would be a good idea. I plan on looking into prices on this. Only problem with it, according to SAR guy, is that resale value of van goes down. But if that happens, we will just strip it off and have repainted. Our van has, as of today, 196000 miles on it. We plan on running it down to the end or parking it or sending for our ever growing auto detail clients, whatever we can do with it, after adding that big fleet of vans in the near future (dreaming big of course). Let me know what you guys think about the clear coat idea. I would like Cody to chime in on this as well. I think it has it’s benefits for the older vans.
