Love the rack. Only the pics of it are sideways so it's fine.

Fantastic build Saline , it's pushed me over the edge to go fixed high top and I'm now leaning towards the Fiberine 24" you have over their 20".

Question on your roof rack install, did you add support inside the top to attach or use the reinforcement ribs glassed into the top?

I mounted the rack through 2 of the re enforcement strips in the roof. Seems very solid so far.

More interior work today.
Still a lot of trim and finish to do on what was done in the last few days but the bulk of the lower cabinetry is in place.

A driveway shot at my parents house where every woodworking tool known to man resides. My simple solution to a sloped driveway.

The countertop is a temporary one until I figure out what to use. A sink will be going in as well.

Son of a bi%$#! Sideways pic again. How does that happen?!

A bit more progress over the last few weeks.

Ceiling and upper wall insulation mostly completed, rear bulkhead storage finished (except stain) and the first ceiling panel installed.

Nice work Saline.

I notice that you installed the battery relay switch in the back of the van, on the switch panel displayed on your last picture. In VivaLaVida, I prefered to install it on the dash board, thus I can control it when driving. If I need to switch it from the rear, I can do it on the relay itself. Different point of view... ;-)
