good lookin stuff paint an motors dont get much better than that

Good job Mo!!!

That's a pretty sweet lookin grille, normally I don't care for custom grilles, but yours came out looking GOOD!

It will look great with a chrome bumper, when ya get one everntually.

Can you tell us a bit more about the sunroof? Where did you get it? Is it a kit, or something you pillaged from another vehicle out of the salvage yard?

MO...Your paint "Garnet Red Metallic" looks the same as what I used. Mine was a 1984 color.

I actually paid more for the sunroof than I did for the van itself...It's the biggest one I could find at the time.

It's 40x20... umm...for some reason I was thinking it was 42"...maybe that's the overall width with the frame.
Thanks for all the compliments guys...I've been working hard on van and it's nice to hear good reviews.
The paint is called "dark garnet red metallic" It looks the same as Bvr Wally's paint...for some reason I just can't take good pic's in my garage

Got some paint on my visor. The markings on the center rib said it was for a 1980 Ford PU. I cut off the ends and wrapped the pillars and roof corners with tinfoil. Also used tinfoil for making a mold for the ends and started slapping some glass. I think the biggest problem was the drip edge and had to make a bulge to go around it but turned out pretty sweet! I had more pics of the whole process of making this but can't find them




I order some snapcaps like they use on the lund visors so when those come in I'll get it mounted and post some pictures of it installed.

Wow Love the visor! Nice job!

Very Nice job you did there! I myself just acquired an "Original" J & J visor! I was told it is the "First" piece he ever made Vannin wise!??

WOW Kurt,
That looks sweet. Nice job. I ordered some snap-caps too, thank you.

Ok...so I couldn't wait for the snapcaps to come in and installed it today...gives the van a whole new look, almost like the top was chopped a little...very pleased with how it turned out.

Looks like I have a little twin brother now!!! Lokks great!

Hey Kurt,
Guess what I got in the mail today? Thanks for the idea...

Dan

I got mine last week also...I order alot since they were so cheap. I don't want to put mine on yet till after I get my windshield installed and would like to get my dashpad made before that goes in. Everything is coming together so quickly. I'm can hardly wait!

Me too. Going to wait until the new paint is on her. And these will make it look just that much better. Thx.

Lookin good!!

Finally got my dashpad installed...built out of fiberglass then covered with vinyl. Thought about putting the speakers in the console but would rather have the sound bounce off the windshield instead of my feet.

Wow, looking great. Good call on the speakers.....

looking very sharp..

wow.. that looks great! What kind of suspension do you have to have it sitting that high?

Im new to this stuff, is that a regular height?

All in all though, that thing is awesome. Great work. Looks like a fun van.

When I first got the van somebody had 10" shackles on the rear of the front leafs. Why???? I don't know. I removed them and installed stock length shackles. The rear leafs are factory, never rearched, but have a nice bow to them. The front leafs lay pretty flat. It should be regular height as far as I know. I'm pretty knew to this also. This is the 3rd summer I have had my van and it's never left the garage or has been driven for over 25 years.

Oooh okay. Thanks for the info! I think it has a great stance on those wheels.

looks very nice!!
