by southern man Sat Nov 14, 2009 3:52 pmI am just about to take my '64 Econo to the paint shop, and have been disassembling everything. I've been debating for a year whether to get a better rear roof vent, replacing the standard 14" square version that came on the van. I found one on an RV site about a year ago that had a reversible fan and internal thermostat, but I thought the dimensions were bigger so I debated whether to go for it. Well, I decided if I had to enlarge the hole, now was the time, but as it turns out it drops right in - the stated dimensions must have included the rim. This thing is cool! (No pun intended.) It will look much better than the old one.
One little surprise though. It has a slightly blue tint to the plexiglass top, which really isn't in the color scheme I'm going with. Doesn't really clash, so I'll wait and see how it all looks once I get everything together. But is there any kind of tint material, or "smoke" paint that might work to change it?
