Got some van goodies today!

Got a few packages in the mail today! I have my work cut out for me I think.

New tow mirrors, Steering wheel with cruise control (currently don't have), fender vents and a stereo deck! Happy to be back in the van world.

Nice! Any chance you could shoot a link for those fender vents? Are they snowmobile vents?

A few years ago I installed these same vents from a 70's era Arctic Cat Panther. I got good results with them and they looked great. There's a few still out there:

Thank you sir! I think I remember reading your old write up a while back.

I'm sure many folks would be fascinated to see that. I know I would. Anything that helps get heat out of that tiny engine compartment is a plus in my mind.

Does your van not have any Vehicle Speed Control components currently---or just missing the steering wheel with controls?

I'd like to hear more about those fender vents - I hope you'll consider photo-documenting the installation and sharing it with us!
