<VV> Badly Damaged Ultravan- Can Anyone Help?

[J R Read_HML]

It's a nice day.  I took the Rampy for a ride.  It is still there and the 
front sheet metal looks fine.  There is also a '65 vert in need of some love 
(top appears to be intact) parked in front of it.  Because of the fence, I 
could not get close enough to either to provide any details.

Later, JR
