Dude......

Jeez I hate reading old posts I know I posted after swilling several brews. Nice pics Idle! The van is still very cool.

I'll see about that pic. The guy wasn't really a band member, he was only messing around with Buzz before the band was even conceived I believe.

I got a 76 Dodge Street van off a guy at work. Payed $200 for it. Towed it home. The engine had three burnt exhaust valves and one intake that was feathered pretty bad.  It was missing so many parts I lived in the junk yards of Kent, Washington for months. The first day I took it on the road I realized all the brakes were fucked up and had to replace just about everything.

I can have the Melvan running in a month.

That logo was added by Kurt.

Idle how come you haven't written an article about the van,
with details like the kiss graphics etc??? and the photos you took,
people will see that on the wiki, you could even sell it to MXMR or Thrasher
or one of those mags/websites!!

No, it's not being sold.  He'll never sell it.

The only way he should let it go is if the melvins get inducted into the rocknroll hall of fame
next year on their 25th anniversary, and the melvan goes to cleveland to become a part
of their permanent exhibit!!

sorry, but I pray to the lords above that the melvins never get inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.

Some day I will make a pilgrimmage to the melvan.. Or touch Handz' hand, that I assume has touched the melvan, which might be good enough.
