Customizing pic's

Would like to start a thread of custom things you have done to your van. Doesn't have to be major mods it can be little things you have done to make your van different from the crowd. With the people we have here this should be a great thread to get ideas for everyone

The best thing I did was to get rid of the ugly gas cap sticking out of the rear quarter pannel. I found a fuel door from a Ford Ranger box that would fit the contour and grafted it in.

heres some things I have done
not much on the 69, but made a turn signal level out of a old valve


the 64 has alot of custom mods
shaved hinges

plate box, shaved bumpers

I did the cap also

suicide front doors


gullwing door

I resessed the license plate. the frame has led light in it. the back lights are also led. and i added the rear spoiler with the 3rd brake light.

Four way flasher knob in my 65.





Here's a video.

Some stuff I'm happy with. No Gasket windshield

Removable seats and DH

Digz !
Had not noticed your windshield before and thought I had studied your rig.
Did you just paint the edge of your windshield black then bond the windshield in? Just how did you do this?????
I was thinking of doing some thing like this also, but wasn't quite sure what to do to the inside of the windshield. I was thinking of using a quarter round push in weather stripe like used on modern cars.
Thanks Charley

Charley, here's a link to the page most of that is on.

Yeah in hindsight I should have put some kind of trim on for the inside before it was set in. The outer trim is off something like a mid 80's oldsmobile I think. The blackout edge is just a primer for the urethane.

did a few things on my project so far. frenched tails and louvered roll pan.

frenched the headlights and bezels in, did a sunken antenna, shaved the turn signals, emblems, made a new grille and reshaped the entire lower area where bumper was.

shifter and e brake handles made from lawn mower piston and rod

Great idea, 61econoline!

must admit not original idea of mine saw it somwheres online and copied it. thanks

Nothing big, but I installed Cadillac tail lights. Here is a progress pic, for some reason I don't have one ofter I painted the van:
