Resetting the shop with two vans (ev3 is here soon as well)
Nice and clean now

Adding mount tabs to all the framing in order to have hidden fasteners on all future interiors for a cleaner look. Not everyone is like me and likes having pretty screws. So chopped, and punched a ton of tabs

and all welded up.

ill drop them off at powdercoat and start putting it together

Flarespace flares and tern overland windows came in as well, dropping them off to paint today as well as finishing registration.

Floor is being built by my cabinet guy, 3/4 cabinet grade ply flooring for awesome screw bite and mounting.
 
So far I am not digging the updated front end on the 19's. Maybe a color match would help idk. How are you liking them?
 
The problem with watching these posts is that you make it all seem easy! I keep thinking I am going to sell Old Blue and start on a van. Then I snap back to reality and remind myself that this is way beyond my abilities. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on the progress.
 
thats why you have me :)
But truth be told. Anyone can build these vans. I gladly hand out parts lists, how to do it, and where to get it.

The only benefit from me is its done super fast and correct. Anyone ...and i repeat..anyone with motivation can build these vans

mounted up the rack we make and a manual dometic 9500 awning (which are discontinued)

Also mounted all the L track and Ceiling tracks, cut holes for fans, ran electrical harness and sound deadening for the van. Today ill put in the fans, and start connecting wiring!
 
Trim rings came in for the Flarespace flares.
Took the old walls, and made a new template combining them, and with the trim ring, so now I can have some templates made with my CNC guy to have them around. I have three sets of vans to install currently so it works out well.

Need to wrap everything with fabric and get it installed!
 
alright alright alright
Ive been a little MIA because big things happened!

Uprooted and moved my house, and workshop to Jacksonville, Fl.
Why you ask?
I'm glad you cared!
I have been working with Freedom Conversions in jax for a bit helping them with some electrical and other situations, and the time came, where it made sense to team up and be awesome together.
So, made a decision to go big or go home (as i always do), doubled down, bought a house and we got a 4,000sqft workshop
The cool part, is it just lets us do more of what we already do! No big changes, just the ability to help more people get into vans, finish parts of their DIY builds they dont have the skill to do, mods for people with a badass van already (revel owners of course) and make cool products!

so then that brings us to the progress of EV2, which will be at Expo along with the Blue van
Its super close to being done. Just gotta line the flares, throw the back walls and bed in, and connect the solar to the panels. Super duper close!

So super excited ot get it done and hit the trails. we will have it as a demo van for a few months at least, adventure wagon is behind on kits, so the 170 i ordered for the shop van isnt quite done yet.
 
Congrats on the new house and workshop!!! I can only dream of a workshop like that.. Someday..... Build is looking good. Wish you were in SoCal as I would have you help build out my M1010. :)
