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. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,964 Likes: 63 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,964 Likes: 63 | 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. | | | 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 | Those new seals look great man.

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.

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.
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers This town ain't big enough for the both of us And it ain't me who's gonna leave

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. Well, today was the day. I finally order the DJM dream beams kit for the van. I have been under it several times.

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. | | | 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 | 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.
