    The van looks GREAT Rich!!!!!!!! And I can even see the video's cheers (the second one was upside down but at least I could see it).

    That's the first pic's you've posted that I could see since April 9th. I could see what Don and Surfing Guy posted.

    Mike, this time I did not mess with the code for the images. That must have been the cause. From now on I'll just copy and paste it.

    Congrats Rich! Always a good feeling. Looks like you went to Apex, if you did Nick is the man (in spite of 1-1/2 years of work!) One of the best in town. Well done!

    My roommate has taken to writing on the windows as she nears completion of her disertation. This guy is our handyman action figure! I should update his text bubble in honor of my van's return.

    This weekend I'll install the popout windows. Until then, the van is under wraps.

    THANKS RICH!!!!!!!!!! I can see all the pic's cheers !!!!!!!!

    It sure looks good sitting in the driveway. It would really make me nervous trying to reinstall everything without scratching the paint. I'm sure you'll have some good help.

    I brought Rich a power window unit out of a 90's Chrysler mini van and we tried it out in one of his spare doors,,,, the 80's use a plastic track that often breaks, so lets see how the 90's cable operated one will do in our vans,,,,,here is a video of it.....

    Cool, that looks promising! Kudos to you guys for testing this stuff out for the benefit of all those who look to this site for just this kind of information so they can make improvements and updates for their own vans. Two thumbs way up!! Back to......VANagains NEWest 65 Chevy SportVan Deluxe - Page 20 Cool10Back to......VANagains NEWest 65 Chevy SportVan Deluxe - Page 20 Cool10

    Rich bought some pick up tail light bezels and they don't fit,,,,,,,,and I doubt that the 10 coats of paint on the van is the problem,,,,,,,

    How much too big and what part is rubbing??? From the photo, it looks like it might be too long? Too bad the bezel couldn't be trimmed to fit, those would look really sharp on there!

    I tried them with no paint and it was still a no go! They are almost an 1/16th" to big in both directions.

    Now that sounds about right,,,,,,,pick up lenses work but not the fancy bezels,,,,,,I could not try to install them anyways,,,,seems like Rich has hid all his hammers from me since he got his van back......
