    to cover the windows.
    just daydreaming, i always wanted a panel van and the windows on the dodge camper are not my favourite, and this job on the corvan is neat lookin, at least for my taste.
    so i want to find a way to cover for those windows and make it look nice

    Thats easy looks like it was vinyl from the inside, go to your local sign guy and tell him what you want. Should be too $$ either

    i was thinking it was a panel of some kind of metal, if that dodge i found does run i will take out the windows (camper windows) and do something like that.
    just leave the frond door windows on it

    Well believe it or not,that's not a window. Rear doors on Corvans were made like that. Did you notice that you dont see a rubber glass seal? They have indentations where windows would be but werent smooth like the side doors were. I ve got a set here so I know this to be fact. I had considered installing them on my Coravn that has windows in the back doors. It's a very odd thing that they made them that way. Personally if I were to switch doors I would smooth out the no window doors to look like the side ones.
    Try Pep Boys or Autozone for window graphics or contact a company that does total body wraps on vehicles. They can make custom scenes off pictures you provide or they take.

    I was thinking, you can always get the INSIDE of the glass sandblasted, then have the sandblast painted the body color so that the glass is pretty much the body color (it may have a slight green tint to it). The down side would be that the gasket would still be black.

    I HAVE A 1964 CORVAN, IT HAD WINDOWS IN THE BACK DOORS AND I WAS
    AT A GUY'S PLACE TO BUY SOME OTHER PARTS AND SAW THESE TWO REAR DOORS WITH NO WINDOWS. HAD TO HAVE THEM. AND GET THIS HE ONLY WANTED 10 BUCKS EACH AND NO RUST. WILL BE GOING ON THE VAN BEFORE I PAINT. Very Happy
