    “Silicone the shit out of it.” & “Gorilla glued the shit out of it.” By far my favorite van build quotes 😂 thanks for the info.

    Thanks for the explanation on how you did the floor and walls. That's the one piece that I haven't seen!

    She is my now my number one hero...As converting this to an RV...Really does take some effort.
    And she is right. Save everything in one piece.. You need to use them as a template. Will make your life way easy...

    Thank you very much for sharing your process with this build. I got pretty much the same exact 1996 F150 club wagon, and it's for sure a pain in the ass!! I feel your pain in labeling all the wires and probably removing some that might've been necessary. I feel more encouraged to keep moving forward and building this van out because of this video. Keep up the creativity, my dude. Excited to see your next build.

    I'm trying to convert mine(i have the same van) and this gave me a good idea of the dimension, and precisely what I can fit.

    Like a Greek taco, you're my gyro. I enjoyed your filmed version of stream of consciousness. The whole, I don't give a shit about giving a shit works so well. Taking your lead. While wearing steel toed flip flops and a wife beater, I turned my tricycle into a high bread rv thanks to your inspiring lack of inspiration. Hope to see you on SNL soon. Merica damnit!!

    It looks like it was coming along pretty well. I thinks it’s important to be adaptable but to also know yourself and your own needs and wants. You made a good call switching to what you wanted more. I keep looking at the smaller vans but am holding out until I find the extended version I really want. I can’t live without a tool “shed” in the back so I need the extra length. Cool build.

    Wow! Very creative ideas. You are so young to know how to do all this stuff. I never knew what a drill was until I was 45! Can’t wait to implement some of what you did, especially Gorilla gluing the shit out of everything!

    My son had the same issue with seat bolts. Spent most of the day with an impact gun. We used a breaker bar socket wrench in the end. If you need to drill through metal with ease Menards sells Bosch cobalt drills. For just a few bucks they're the best. Great job on the van!

      Make sure you catch them nuts. Mine feel out on top of that 35 gallon gas tank..I spent 2 hours fishing for them with a magnet..As them two nuts rattle something awful....

    Hey! Just for clarification im on the framing part adding the wood to the ribs of the wall.you used the, 1 7/16” screws? Im scared of screwing a hole in the wall so I want to make sure that size works, this part of the build is frustrating to me🤣

    Hi thank you for this video. I have the exact same van and I don't know if I would keep all the wires or just cut them off. How did you cut them off? I am clueless about electricity. What do you do with the heater and a/c unit in the back?

    • @Themescapecustoms
      @Themescapecustoms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I tried my best to track what each of the wires was responsible for. It was such a headache 😣. My Rex would be to bring it to a mechanic because they can safely skim down the wires to only the necessary ones. Thanks for watching!

    The roof is made of fiberglass, right? What would you need to drill hole and cut through it? Do you plan on adding solar panels or racks on the roof?

    • @Themescapecustoms
      @Themescapecustoms  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yup, this van had a high top. In most high tops there is a layer of plywood imbedded in the fiberglass. I used a standard drill bit and a jigsaw. I was thinking about adding solar before I sold it

    When making van videos, instead of explaining beforehand, Just explain as you're building and show us as you go. That'll shorten the video.🤔🤔🤔
