No, didn’t sand or paint it. Just left it as I got it. Used finish washers and 3/4” sheet metal screws, and drilled a small pilot hole for each screw. Seems like it’ll hold up well. I used a leather punch to knock out each screw hole in the padded cover, to avoid any tearing.

Got the cover from Wilson’s custom upholstery, I found them on Instagram at stitchin_wilson - I’m very happy with the cover. They did a great job, good communication, and a great product.

Got the cup holder/organizer from a cat at the nationals swap meet - I had been looking for one since getting the van, with no luck. Big score on my first day at Nats.

Wasn’t today, but last week, I finally got off my butt and fixed a vibration I have had in the driveline of my van. Any time I got to 55mph, I got a vibration in the floor/seat of my pants and was not sure what it was.

I checked the u-joints, and they SEAMED tight, so I kept looking with no luck. I finally decided screw it and pulled the driveshaft out. As I did that I found the front u-joint to be bad and fixated on that, repairing it and put the shaft back in the van. Upon test driving it, I found the vibration was better but not gone, so out came the shaft again to inspect the rear u-joint, and it turned out to be bad too. Off to the parts store to get another u-joint and replace it too. Now the van runs as smooth or maybe smoother than the day I bought her. YAY ME !lol

Got the speedo cable installed and now have both a working speedo and odo, YAY ME TOO.....then got to thinking about the non-working gauges while I was in there. A few of the contacts on the back were long gone, and probably crumbled without me realizing it when I first took the cluster out. More money throwing at parts...
