Those new seals look great man. When you said "Matchstick Rose" are you talking about Matchstick from Custom Vanner Mag? I saw they were making some ports a while back on Instagram or somewhere, but never remembered to go to their site to check it out.

Looking good, any more info are how to get a set of the gaskets would be appreciated. My port gaskets are dried out and age cracking.

Yes, thats her. They don't really sell the gaskets per se. They paid us a visit last year for their book tour and she saw my gaskets. We got to talking about them so I paid her some money and she sent me about 14' of gaskets, two styles and thankfully the larger one worked out to install. They are made for the windows she makes so I took a chance and I'm hoping these seal well for me.

That's awesome. I think it is awful how people were giving her sh*t for not producing parts fast enough and ruined it for everyone. We had a chance at reproduced Venturi Vent/Super Scoop and now that's on the back burner.

Well, today was the day. I finally ordered the DJM dream beams kit for the van. I have been under it several times. The bushings and a few other suspension parts are going to need replacement due to wear. I figured I might as well do it now while it is back ordered through Summit. It should be shipped in the next 60 days or so.

Well darn, I was hoping they might be available for everyone to purchase to restore their port gaskets. Maybe Steele has something in their universal section. I totally understand though if folks were giving her a hard time and she stepped back from stuff. I wouldn't deal with people's nonsense either.

I've been working on Steele to make some reproduction 71-95 G van pop-out seals. I've got a spare set of seals now with a tiny bit of dry rot I told them I could send them for reference. Hopefully hear back from them soon.

Killer! Being a Chevy guy I hadn't even heard of DJM Dream Beams, but just looked them up and they look killer. Maybe someday I will get my hands on that early 3rd GEN Green Econoline that has been sitting forever locally and I've had a huge crush on.

You could talk with her about it, see what she says. I brought it up and she agreed to sell me some. I know she gets it made for her windows so she might be able to get more, I really havent discussed that with her.

gettin older sucks...i got tired of not being able to see the instrumentation on bright sunny days....guess my eyes are getting tired...........sooooo,,,,i dug into the multifunction headlight switch and found out which wire lit up the instruments and bootlegged/re-routed it to a switched circuit............now,on the brightest days even wearing shades i can clearly see all instrumentation........works great and didnt cause any problems elsewhere...
