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!

Alright guys i'm brain storming here . 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 . .

Joe, not fully understanding the explanation. 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?

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 .
