Tried all day to talk myself into liking the paint work my brother and I did to the front wheels on Sunday (didn't have time to do all four due to a failed jack).

We painted the stock rally wheels seafoam green...
It looked good in our minds...
The color looked great on the wheels...
The wheels look funny on the van.

Jason, roll the windows down and warm the channel seals with a heat gun, then roll them up and down quickly while it cools.

Had planned to fill up the diesel-tank for the trip on friday, but wasn't able to do it. The battery was dad, I forgot to switch of the lights last friday after returning from a seat-upholstering-shop.

So, at the moment, I'm charging both the starter-battery as well the aux-batteries and hope to get enough power to back - up in to the garage and to start tomorrow morning to drive to my office.

On the other hand, the trip last friday was a success. The guy told me, that he is able to transplate the murals from the actual seats (they are absolute worn out after more than 25 years) into new ones. So, I ordered the new seats and now I'm waiting for them as well I'm searching a swiveling console for the passenger seat, which is out of production and not longer availabe frown

Attended my first Keystone, and incidentally the first truck in I've been to in almost 2 1/2 years. Then went and got a long overdue side gullwing on the van... I think I'm going to have to change my signature picture here...

Today I final sanded my driver door after re-grafting a new bottom. It will get new weather-stripping and heavy insulation to keep out the noise and cold. Over the past months I have been working steadily installing a new 425hp Chevy 350 and lower body panels. Also I put in new cab area carpet and seats from an Audi or Toureg. The driver seat has electric recline and heat and they are black leather. You can find me on FB barry@electric-guy.com Just mention vanning and friend me.
