@superbeast - I think I will keep the windows. Right now I plan to polish the frames. Hopefully I can get them to shine like chrome. I want to polish the wiper arms and the spare tire carrier to match. I suppose I can paint the frames black or body color later.

@draggnastro - You know the longer I drove it with the maroon I really started to like it too. I think the gold is going to be more eye catching though.

Staggered wheels would be cool. I think 16/18 is as big as I want to go though. The body guy is rolling my fender lips so I can hopefully tuck in a decent tire in the front without rubbing. It's hard to decide on wheels with so many choices.

They started primering the whole van today. It is coming along slowly. I decided not to run a spare tire carrier in the back. I am planning on finding a donut spare and hiding it somewhere in the interior.
