Maybe we could get enough people on here that want one and we could place an order. I'd really like to try to buy 2-3 more vans before they shit can them. They would probably sell at a premium in a few years.a

I have actually considered that. SMB-W said "get 4 of your friends to order one and we'll make it happen." LOL! I gotta get my butt in gear and decide what I want to do: RB or EB and finalize my floor plan and get a van ordered. My uncle has a buddy with a clean, low-mileage '05 with a diesel so that's a factor as well. But it's white, not Baja Tan

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
Not too much for pictures other than of the last aluminum box I've been waiting for. I will get a cushion made for the top of it for another place to sit. I got the front fenders trimmed, primed all the screws and penetrations under the floor that I could get to, cleaned up the intake and exhaust lines for the furnace and water heater, and drawer pulls installed.

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
So I'll just have Ford drop-ship my van to you...where?
Looks great! Nothing like building it the way YOU want it to be done.

I'd love to build your van, lndshark. Have it shipped to me next November, or now, so I could have it done before March.

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
I took the van out on it's first 150 mile road trip today to get a few parts I needed. It rode and handled pretty damn good. Mpg? not so good.
I'm taking it back down to Montrose on Friday to get all the back windows tinted a limo black and the drivers and passenger tinted at a 45. I'm also getting a 3M clear bra installed. Everything else should be all done by this Saturday or Sunday. Time to get it packed and head south for a few months.

I'm sure the tint will help the gas mileage tremendously.....

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
Your attention to detail is fantastic! Thx for such an informative build thread. I am glad that I decided to stop by this forum tonight. I will have to revisit it and do a more thorough read, as I saw some ideas that I might borrow. If your ever get a chance to stop by ExPo, take a look at my build, and feel free to give me some ideas.
Thx,
Brad

Re: 2013 E350 New Build
Don't know if you're going Baja or Gulf, but if you go Baja I'd love to buy you a beer and check out your van!
I'm a little north of San Diego proper in Encinitas.
