It's tough to get woodworking stuff done lately because of all the rain we've been getting but I'm chipping away at it. Yesterday my front air dam from Van Accessories Direct showed up so I unwrapped it and started mocking it up (in between rain drops). I'm really happy with the overall quality - it's molded perfectly from nice thick fiberglass and will hardly need any finish work before priming and painting. I'll need to get creative and trim the top edge a little on the driver side to clear the steering box but that shouldn't be very difficult. For what it's worth VAD's site has this air dam listed to fit years 1983-1996 but I decided to take a chance, figuring I could always modify it if it wouldn't bolt up directly. However, the spoiler is stamped along the top edge "Chevy spoiler 1978-1989". | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 old hand | old hand Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 | Sometimes the best improvements are the ones no one will notice but me. Ever since I bought the van, the turn signal stalk which has the wipers, bright switch, cruise combined was broken because someone slipped when they were getting in and the first thing they grabbed was that. I had right turn signal function but that was it! No brights, no wipers (that stopped working about 6 months in) so it was pretty annoying to say the least. Today I was at one of the local yards since it finally stopped raining and found a 1990 Dodge B250 with a matching tilt wheel and functional stalk! Picked it up for $60. I just have to swap over the key cylinder but that will be really nice to drive with all that working. I have been looking for a cabinet for my van that looked right and was the right size. I didn’t want something all that deep just so I didn’t take up a ton of room. I found a cabinet that’s meant for over the toilet that looked to be all solid oak for $20. Went and got it and it’s very nice for the price. It came with paneled doors and mirror inserts which I’m going to replace with my gold vein mirror. I’m also going to build another lower box below with doors for my second battery and stereo amp. The top piece is about 6†deep, the bottom will be 12†and will work pretty well with the curve of the wall, I’ll just make a side panel that covers over the entire assembly. I want to re finish the outer part darker and will line the interior with fur or red vinyl. Also found some cool cast pulls for the doors
