    How have you all framed in and installed paneling in the rear corners? Have you box framed them, done an angle across, or? Any pictures would be appreciated. I want to be able to access rear brake light bulbs  if needed. Some little hinged doors. Got majority of the van framed out so far.

    Hey Steelrat

    The easiest way when I did my vans was to make a square removable panel full ht.

    Run your side paneling as far as possible back into the corner.
    Block with some 1x2 on top of the panel to accept the new panel which will come off 90 degrees.
    The new rear panel will have to be contoured to the shape of the side wall.
    Screwed to the 1x2 blocking and screwed to the frame next to the door for removal.

    That's as simple as it gets.
