Eventually when I am finished fixing all of it's mechanical issues, suspension and steering etc... Then I will cut out the rusted panels, weld in new ones and the rest goes without saying.
The one problem I will have when it comes time for paint, removing all of the custom windows. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 22 stranger | stranger Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 22 | Put a new old stock side marker lens/light on my 77 GMC Vandura.

They said it might not come back for 3-4 days!!!!! Lee..we got lucky up here in Brooklyn Park..power stayed on, but man you could tell there was a storm. Debris everywhere, but pretty much cleaned up now. Three days.....still no power. BGE (the utility company) said it might take up to the weekend to get everyone turned back on. The house is getting warm and I am on a well so I have no water!!!!! But.....the worst part is my generator isn't strong enough to run my compressor and I am in the middle of doing a lot of bodywork so I can't work on the van right now!!!!! Yeaaaaaa........just got my power back on (4 days after the storm)!!!!! Looking forward to some A/C (it's 92 degrees inside my house)......AND.....I can fire up the compressor and start back on the van tonight!!!!!! Whoooooi Hooooooooo | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | I had big plans to work on the van all weekend but we had a fierce storm last night and lost power.

Looks good.
When I got home I snuck out to the garage and sanded and primed the bargain air dam I got from Discount Van Truck on eBay. They were having a clearance sale and I picked up a vintage air dam for $26 plus shipping! I think it was made in 1981 since cast into the lip of the air dam is a little box that says "Fits Ford 75-81 Late". That tells me this piece was made in 81 and then sat on a shelf for 31 years! Once I get it painted and installed on my van I will post some pictures.
