    Wow! Very Nice!!! Do you have poppers for the doors? I don't see door handle on the side doors...I really like the narrow side trim too...Nice job on the two-tone paint scheme...I like the way the bumper was painted also to carry the two-tone down low as well...Tres Bien! Magnifique!

    Hi Vanny, No door poppers. The paint shop just hasn't put the handles back on because I have new ones that are to be installed. Thank you for the complements Smile Means a lot !!

    Hi Uante,

    Nope, interesting that you noticed though Smile I had the body guy fill in the holes for the mirrors and am putting on West Coasts Juniors on it, like my dad had. I could not see well out of the passenger side mirror.

    I did notice the holes were filled. I like the west coast style and how well they let you see...my van apparently had them at one time judging from all the holes in my doors that had to be fixed, but I haven't seen any pictures with it outfitted with them . Anway, i've been looking for a set of rectangle mirrors with long posts so if you don't have any plans for those, I might be interested in buying them from you.

    Vic LaFontaine has alot of stainless jr west coast mirrors if you are looking for a set. I got one from him. Stainless mirror heads are still available as are the mounting brackets. It's all about the hoop. I used 68-74 mirrors and modified the upper end of the hoop per Vic's instructions and they fit just like my old rusted out steel ones. I also replaced all of the hardware with stainless and used some special anodized acorn nuts I got from Vic.

    I'll let you know. This van is going to France. I might take them as back-ups in case mine get side swiped on the narrow French streets Smile

    Oh wow, didn't realize you were shipping your van out and that you are living in France. I didn't look that close at what it said under your avatar picture. Anyway, By all means I would definitely take them with you as spares...Good Idea![/quote]
