Workin on the interior!!!

Been workin on the panels and runnin wire for some 6x9's. Got temp tunes. Getting ready to work on the head liner and cab floor carpet. got the roll of car carpet at the flea market for 20.00 a week befor I got the van. almost enough for the whole van!! I am going to do the back of the van ceiling in diamond tuck. What do you guys think??






I am going to build some storage boxes over the wheel wells, then some laminate flooring on the dance floor. Anybody know of any cool lighting...led, battery, 12v, or other?? please help.

Thanks for looking,
Johnny

Great to see some interior work...

Lookin' good!

Love to see a few pics when you do your headliner that's next on my list of to do's and I want to do it in diamond tuck also. Billl

I think I am going to do carpet on the cab roof and diamond in the rear area. Still not sure. Many restless night think about how to do any of this. It is fun though. Had it all full of tool boxes today. did my first big trip in it today to Santa Cruz and back about and some running to sales did about 125 miles. Did good on highway 1 some small hills ol 170 did alright. I am happy with this van!!!!

I am Johnny and I am a Vanner!!!

Worked one the headliner yesterday and today fit nice. next the overhead console. I will be running a wood bead the legnth of the sides up in the corner to cover the corner front to back. Gotta find the tuck for the rear of the van then it will be next. Thanks for all of the props guys!!

I will say Johnny,man its coming around great.

Here are some new pics of my interior, boxed the fender wells in back, makes nice storage and kicking back seating. Made my carpet edge trim from 3/4X3/4 aluminum available at ace hardware, very cheap and easy to do. looks good too. just polish and seal and wa la!!!

Got my cab floor done. it is ok for a firstimer. Was for sure fun and nice to say I did all of the work with myself and my son and lots of spray glue. Hope u guys enjoy the pics as I love to show off this little van that I have come to love to drive.

Thanks again for all the info you guys share,
Johnny

this is one of my favorite sites for LED's.....might want to also search LED lighting for boats...there is a ton of cool stuff out there you can do now days

Thanks VanNutt. I remember that thread. Yes, that is kind of what I'm planning on doing with the carpet.

Moved my stereo up top, then added amp, then added Sony eq after thought... It works great for now. the sound is killer 4 6x9s, 2 in ithe middle and 2 in the back Infinity speakers with crossovers, in the doors in front. The amp added soooo much to the sound. this thing is like a big speaker box. Without the BOOOOOM BOOOOM vibrating everything within 20 ft. Just clean sound. I am 46 so it may just be me... But I like it. Just need to get the top finished and the floor layed, And I will be about there. Thanks for looking,
Johnny


Who else is workin on thier interior?? Please show some pics I like to see things that I might want to do.

Thanks again,
Johnny

I hope to start on our interior soon.
I've got to work within a box full of windows though!

If memors serves me still- there is a cardboard backing?? with foam- diff sizes available already @ wholesale upholstery shops - than have the diamond pattern on the foam- so all u do is select the fabric and sew it on the foam. I did a diamond tuck the old way making the pattern from scratch- what a pain. look online @ wholesale uph sellers or speak with an old upholstery shop in ur area - and im saying auto types not furniture-have fun -looks great.

THERE IS SOME NICE WORK GOING ON HERE KEEP THE POST GOING GUYS. I AM JUST GETTING STARTED ON THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE ON MINE NOW SO I'LL GET SOME PICS SOON.
