On the cracks, I finished gluing the outside today. (A local auto parts shop is a dealer for specialized painting supplies and they actually carry urethane glue!) I still need to sand/prime/repaint the front end. But the cracks are pretty solid without my having done the back side yet. I'll get after that side tomorrow, or when the rain stops. I'm also going to fill the pockets with some urethane sheet. But I didn't have time to get to them before the rain today.

I'm also considering doing a two tone on the van. Silver on top, Black on the lower 3rd. I found a concept image from a Astro van website of a guy talking about plasti-dipping the lower fenders for rust prevention. I don't know how well that plan would actually work in the real world. But the concept pictures are pretty awesome looking.
