The cover was cracked and the ring was actually black plastic from a Toyota. I chucked them.

Brian is going to weld in the factory holder. I'm going to keep the spare inside.

I was originally going to get a new "continental" kit for the rear door, but decided not too.

Haven't been able to get much done in the past few weeks, but I did get the "rounds" bolted in. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out that the plates are right and left specific. Bolted the pass side in and then couldn't figure out why the dr side wouldn't bolt in right. Duh! lol

I had a buyer lined up, but that fell through so I'm just going to keep the van for awhile.

I spoke with Kurk from Custom Van and he said he could make me a custom billet grille when it's done. He has those billet grilles for Chevy, but not Dodge. I think that should set the "rounds" off really well.
