I was thinking the 2nd weekend ? Any ideas or imput is welcome . I'm not looking to have a wild party it's a gathering maybe you guys can plan a road trip seeing radical vans around NJ again?. Thanks Looks like this may have to wait till near the end of the month. .. And as for the Van thanks for asking but i took a few weeks off and i'm looking for parts . So i have to get to a junk yard or buy a cheap van .. Sounds like fun to me. As long as it's not a vannin' weekend, I'll be there!

I have the 300 lights and a 1/4 door on the back and set up jack stands and a platform to get an idea how the lights will look . while the idea is still good i'm just not feeling it . I was thinking of building a housing that fits in the door and drops down even if it extends past the door to the van body it would be all in one . So if i need to get to it i can open the door and have accsess to the back of the lights . Here is a litte mock up a bit low but is kinda shows what it might look like . i'm almost thinking of 3- 59 caddy lights stagered in a row above the body line on the back corners . . | | | Re: 77 Dodge Street Van | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 1,241 old hand | old hand Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 1,241 | How many bulbs are there in each side ?

Are you saying that you would build the light into a frame located where the light is sitting. In that position the frame would obviously extend into the body panels. The thing that I am not understanding is the access. You mean that if you need to service it you can access it by opening the door above it?
Personally I like the Caddy light idea. What are your plans for the area below where the light is now? Are you installing a bumper? Rolled pan? | | | Re: 77 Dodge Street Van | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 119 member | member Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 119 | Alright guys i'm brain storming here .

Hello Randy , The blue section is a small custom door i took off of Nebula . I was considring biulding a light hosing with in that door . it folds down . as for the back yes a roll pan and hopefully something for protection like a bumper that can bechanged . | | | Re: 77 Dodge Street Van | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 | i think some flush mount LED tail lights would look great in there. True ! but i was trying to keep it appearance wise pre 1977 So any item on the exterior would be a part that a vanner found in the junk yard back in the day . | | |
