Long overdue, but here are some pics of recent progress. Some are purely there to make people groan with jealousy and hopefully chuckle a bit! 
Martha, quick come and see what that clever man in SC did! He installed a door handle all by himself! 
See how difficult it is to get a shot of the color of the paint?
I shot this photo to AGAIN show what a wonderfull job I did installing the rubber seal around the trunk. However, as a bonus, I think it shows the true color of the car. You wouldn't believe how many times I have tried to capture the color only to get reflections of other colors and only a faint glimmer of the midnight blue. If you really want to see the color first hand, here's a secret.
The paint code is 2008 Chrysler PBL. I know that at least one of you hard core FORD guys just fainted!!!! 
Next time you see a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country minivan, check the paint code on the door. Some are PB8, but that color is a lighter blue with less metallic. PBL is darker and has more metallic.
And another.
Another.
Grill and headlight chrome went on today. It was a true "father and son" bonding event with my 18 year old helping. Awesome.
To all you guys who weld in new floor pans - I say - drool over these!!!! That's right, this is the way they looked when I bought the car. I found one pinhole behind the front seat on the DS. The rest of the floor areas have not even been cleaned yet. So, I say YIPEE for me - eat your heart out guys!!!! (I'm sorry, am I being rude? Naaahhhhhh! Just having fun.
OK, well my trunk is solid too! Here is the trunk prior to cleaning and treating it.
Rust converter was a total waste of time because all it does is put an icing layer of converted rust OVER rust which will still continue to grow. I know because I saw the rust converter flake up 1 year later.
Now I have re-sanded the trunk and used POR 15. Much better and it will last too.
