Owl, van looks great, looking forward to the build updates! Any chance you got a part number for that front cowl? I wouldn't mind swapping mine out if possible.

Awesome thanks!

Thanks for that. Ordered. Does it come with any screws or hardware that you recall?

I do not believe they came with screws. I just re-used the original screws.

First things first--that was one sexy looking van when you bought her, but she's a badass looking bitch now!

I pretty much exclusively lurk this forum these days after I stupidly sold the quasi-unicorn I found 2-3 years ago and wimped out turning it into a campervan (was a 2013 E-350 Extended Cargo with fixed high top, approx 75K miles (can't remember exactly mileage) and so clean I swear she still had whiffs of that new car smell on her) when I really started researching how long it was going to take and cost. Had I only known a world pandemic was around the corner!!!!

Anyway, people seem to be pretty open about costs on this site, mind if I ask you how much you bought her for and how much you've since spent on her?

And are 4x4 Campervans typically referred to as "she/her", "he/him", or are vans on this site gender neutral these days??

Well we have one HellBetty owned by our AnnieO along with so many other gender-specific van names so far we've escaped all this "politically correct" nonsense permeating our lives these days.

As long as the reference isn't offensive I don't think too many of us here get too twisted over a name regardless what it is.
