That sounds like my friend Greg's Vanagon.  The van started as an auto
tranny passenger van he cut, welded, and spent countless hours on.  He
did a beautiful job on it and has a lot of custom items that are a lot
of fun (remote controlled rear hatch for example).

I don't know if he is going to BNNTA but I hope he does so everyone can
see it in person.
