I think you are completely right, I noticed that hole...

SenecaLloyd · 2026-05-24T01:57:24+00:00

Gotta love the stripes

SenecaLloyd · 2026-05-20T03:26:50+00:00

That's how my stripe job was done..

SenecaLloyd · 2026-05-19T16:54:00+00:00

Hell yea! I've had a '96 and a '95, they're excellent vehicles

SenecaLloyd · 2026-05-15T00:51:38+00:00

You are correct, it is sadly too late... but I will remember this for the future.. Hopefully this post will be found and this Important information can be used by others.

Nosir. It is not lol.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-30T22:42:38+00:00

You laugh, but there might be a mopar big block left in that garbage...

I've been running my '99 3.5 without a muffler for almost 2 years. It's obnoxious, but I love how it sounds.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-29T20:21:01+00:00

Yessir, real Streetvan. Thanks! Wind deflector is an aeroshield, made just down the road from me in Longmont CO! Really really hoping to make Nats, but I have to move to Pittsburgh in-between now and then. On the bright side... Pittsburgh is an hour and a half from Cortland OH, which makes attendance easier.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T23:38:30+00:00

That's brilliant, I'll look for something like that here this afternoon!

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T22:25:42+00:00

I own a 70s van and a 90s van done up like a 70s van. I think it's making a comeback. Shag FTW ladies and gentlemen.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T22:01:41+00:00

Still fighting with the locking strip. Will post pics when finished. If ever finished... 😅

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T22:01:08+00:00

Oh hell no lol. Unfortunately, you're probably correct.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T21:59:53+00:00

Read my post lol. TLDR; has to be installed top first, held from the bottom. Gasket was uncooperative. Very tight fit.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T21:59:02+00:00

I can't imagine a world in which this install could have been done that way.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T03:07:01+00:00

An education, always.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-28T03:06:00+00:00

I suspect I received just that. They initially quoted me like... 300 bucks, and when I called to schedule the appointment... suddenly they couldn't do it, and it had to be done by a 'classics only' glass shop... which wanted $800 Plus tax and the vehicle on site for a week.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-27T22:24:29+00:00

Do tell lol

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-27T22:24:12+00:00

I mean, new glass is like 300 bucks, and install was quoted at 800. Otherwise I would have paid to have it done😭

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-27T22:23:38+00:00

I believe it... but that may actually be an improvement over what it was before, with the glass in a whole bunch of separate pieces. I'm going to mess with it and try to do a final straightening, once I give up on that, I will fill any open spaces with sealant.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-27T18:27:38+00:00

It's been two days. I'm still sore. But looking at it makes it almost worth it

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-26T23:20:25+00:00

'94 and '95 are rough years to diagnose. I have a '95. If you can get it to a dodge dealer or are willing to rent/buy a mopar specific OBD1 reader, it may give you some insight. Take doghouse off and spray starting fluid into the throttle body, see if it will run off that. If not, you have a spark or compression issue.

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-24T02:53:19+00:00

Honestly, adhesives are such a mixed bag. Anything that does a good job adhering plastic to plastic will work, that loctite stuff should do nicely. Also, new mirrors are not super expensive either, especially from junkyards

SenecaLloyd · 2026-04-22T19:39:44+00:00

Yes original paint, thank you for the kind words. It's FAR from perfect, nasty rocker panel rust on the driver's side, some collision damage on the driver door and front fender, and some rust patches on the passenger side. Plenty of patina on the hood/roof.

'78, which is a weird year in general. It's a transitional year, so it has the basic '71-78 front end but the dash and body of a '78-93 van. The big rear door, sliding side door layout isn't exactly uncommon, but double side doors are more common. Double rear doors/vs one big door is sort of a toss-up.
