Yo! I recognize that there is a missing file in the introduction. I lost the file during export of the video but it doesn’t affect much in the video so I’ll leave it as is for now rather than re-uploading. I hope you all enjoy the video!
couldn’t tell 😁😉👍🏽
Hope all is well with you and your family 🙏🏿❤
Looked intentional as part of the other van being totaled an artistic edit.
Bro your work is amazing
Didn't notice a thing! Great video as is.
I am an old guy, and I have been watching since you first started. You have learned all sorts of new things and have been applying them. Your sister was a big help too. You are a superstar on these van builds. Over 700,000 subscribers, AWESOME.....
I could not have said it better. You're unbelievably talented.
Totally agree. I'm an old lady and amazed at his skills. 😊
I'm hooked. That's for sure.
Yes I’ve been watching his videos for a long time. When I get my van …. You’ll be the one to build it out! You have such amazing talent! May God continue to bless guide guard and protect you. Thanks for sharing with us. We love you. Stay safe. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Totally agreed
Amazing. He’s a welder, carpenter, electrician, plumber, all in one. Truly a jack of all trades. Not to mention filmmaker and editor!! This dude has it all
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
He is the GenZ role model
Facts
I think they call that jack-of-all-trades master of none That's the way I always have been try to learn all you can about anything you're interested in love watching his videos
@@leroycox3022The complete saying is " A Jack of all trades is a master of none, but often better than a master of one." I found this out recently and it made my day and helped how I thought of myself. Hopefully it does the same for others.
Dual brother, 72 year old X woodworker here, really appreciate your craftsmanship! Safety heads up! When using your table saw, especially with dado blades, do not back material over blades after making cut .!.! Simply follow through in direction of original cut away from blade.
Thus preventing kickback ! I have the cutoff thumb tip testifying the power of kickback. Happy creating!😅
Thanks bro
Thankfully he has a sawstop table saw. Considering how nasty kickbacks are, the sawstops safety features are invaluable.
Dude, you're a legend. Singlehandedly reviving my interest in starting a conversion project
I’m an old woman (84) and I love watching things being built, my husband and I did a lot in our time. You’re sure doing wonderful. Keep it up
I bet you have so many stories
I'm an old lady too, and all the things I would let this young man do to me....
Omg 😂@@starveartist
bruh @@starveartist
@@starveartist xaxaxaxa
am i the only who peeped how my mans leveled up AGAIN on his video production!!?? Beautifully done! the van and the video! Glad your back bro
YES! What he said! 👊🏻🤯
The brotha is talented 😂
Yeah I saw the nice intro
To see a young man who isn't afraid to get down and dirty and take on an impossible task from start to finish is refreshing.
Every part of this job was built with love and your paint job was amazing along with your modifications and your ingenuity. God bless you and wishing you the best always..
To take a van 1000 miles sight unseen was amazing also lol.
You are a gem
Keep up the good work....
Your skills are worth the $230,000 !!! As always, I'm so impressed and am humbly joining the other comments here.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, though I know your dad is on your shoulder, clapping and parting you on the back for all your ingenuity with every cut of your blade and every twist of a joint. Thank you for all your talents and wonderful videos!
Dude you are Amazing!! Love it!!!
So glad to see you wearing safety gear while you’re deconstructing that van so many people do not take proper care of their health
I was really glad to see that, too! Goodness only knows what all that stuff was when he pulled it apart.
I thought the same thing.
all of his fans want him to stay safe.@@IceLynne
God Bless you
🤣 I was thinking the same thing… like he almost had a full hazmat suit to deconstruct this van! And judging by the looks of it…. that was correct! Good gawd, that was awful! 😱🤢Gives me chills just thinking about it! 🤣
gademn, 41 mins of no bullshit building. guy only talks when he needs to explain essential stuff. minute after minute just getting things done - no long reflections, just adds stuff when needed. lowkey cool editing. good music. why have i only found this channel now. subscribed!
Now coming as a person that values competency over any other trait, you are the most talented person I have ever seen. I am constantly mesmerised by your video editing, my ADHD is fully stimulated, you include enough of each aspect of what you’re doing to make us feel like we are there with you every step of the way, but short enough that we don’t have time to consider being distracted. You switch from the time lapse to your explaining something interesting. You don’t spoon feed us, by telling us that you’re going to install the solar panels, you respect our intelligence enough to know we will put that together ourselves. The list of what you are (very) competent seems to be ever growing! Meticulous fashion and grooming, your understanding of the severity and importance of PPE equipment, your video editing skills, carpentry, metal work, art, and I’m not even half way through it! I have the biggest platonic crush on you buddy! Also I’m high, so very high. In the interest of being fully transparent.
As a Vet, I've only dreamed about owning a vehicle like this. Feeling so free, wherever you travel. Absolutely fantastic work. You have gotten yourself another subscriber for sure. You are amazing.
Young man. There aren't words in the English language that can truly describe how talented and creative you are, I'm awestruck by your builds! The precision by which you work, it's impeccable! Having too modify the seating swivel base...that was epic! You obviously love what you do. Please continue to impress us!🤜🏽🤛🏽
This young man has a gift!! His hands are truly blessed!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏿I need one of his creations!!! I told my children/grandchildren if they ever want to bless me, I want one of these vehicle!!!🙏🏾✌🏾💕
I hope you get one built by him! You know the quality and style will be in point!
Agreed!! Super Talented!! That van turned out over the top!!
And does
I want one too!
I'm an 87 year older who did framing work with my husband in Texas and Georgia. Truly enjoy watching your talents and skills, even the unique tools you use such as the double crow bar!! Awesome work, young man! I truly enjoy following you. Ms. Gerald
It would be an understatement to say you are a genius. Watching you work gives me the feeling anything you imagine is possible with the right tools and some hard work. The counter top you made from pallets is just BEAUTIFUL!
The GOAT returns! Loved the project dude. You're crazy skilled
Son, there is no doubt in my mind. You are the most talented young man I have ever seen. Your hands, your being, your talent is "Blessed And Highly Favored". As a 70 year old Black Grandma, you make me so proud. Love Ya !!
I just wanted to say you sound like the sweetest grandma and I hope you have a lovely day!
Amen!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽♥️🔥
AGREE💯💯💯
'Son'? Wtf, if you called me 'Son' even when I was 18 and had a full job, I'd look at you stupidly
@@EatAllDaHumansREALLY??? Show some respect. If it doesn’t apply let it fly!!
It’s been a minute since I’ve watched you work… You are truly gifted, patient, skilled and visionary. And your hands look as unmarked as an accountant!
God love you, young man. All that tearing out & the tiny & not so tiny molecules of dust, fabrics & wood decay, and who knows what else. You are something else, man!! Extraordinary.
Dualex…King of the Pocket Screws! Man, if I had all of his tools and equipment, I would just be a guy with all of his tools and equipment!
😅😅 👏. This comment killed me!
😂
Hahaha cute joe😂
😂😂😂
Suggestion: I've watched your builds since the beginning. I can tell you think through the process before building out the van. I have one suggestion. If you add a way to "collect rain water some how" then have it go through a filtration process, you won't have to constantly have to look for fresh water and can stay off grid for longer periods. And in the back of the van, if you weld a device to hold a e-bike, the e-bike can be used to go use for re supply runs, all you need is mount plastic milk crate in the front of the e-bike. Cuts down on gas money / stay off grid at the same time.
Some next level right there
Great minds think alike 😂👏
ebike needs to be inside or it might get stolen when his far.
Great idea!…Sounds like a new build your thinking of for your amazing future on road adventures or full time van life.
This is amazing! God bless this young man!! He is so gifted & talented! Blessings to you!
I watch guys like you with so much respect. I struggle to put cheap furniture together
I got so excited when I saw you with a new project. I thoroughly enjoy watching you. Its like watching a magician, the hands are quicker than the eyes always with a new trick up your sleeve. You were smart to wear that asthmat suite. There isnt anyone like you anywhere on the internet. You're one in a billion. I didn't think that it was possible but you're evolving so much. Watching you is like a supernatural experience.
I second that emotion.
✨🗜️🧘🏽⚒️✨
Hard to find the right adjectives for your work: impeccable professionalism comes to mind. I've been enjoying your videos so much! The care you took making all of those wood tiles for the herringbone pattern is just so impressive. I hope you get another 40 years out of your new van!
Young man; you are AMAZING!! I enjoy watching how you deconstruct and reconstruct a project. Wow!! I’m guessing it most have cost a good amount of money for that conversation. Can’t wait for the tour video. Looking forward to it. Blessings!
The parquetry on the ceiling is like next level shit. I don’t think people realize that it’s a nod to the era of this van and replaces the button leather we could all do without. My man if you ever need someone to get behind you for a project please reach out. Your talent goes beyond the doing. Your conception is on point. This is like Foose and Halley level work.
You are a true artist and genius!!! When someone talks about thinking outside the box, I can truly tell you never even SAW the box!!!
Great comment 👍
So much respect for this man's patience in building this van out. Looks amazing!!!
WOW THIS YOUNG MAN NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME . I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HIM OFF AND ON BUILDING AND HE DOES JUST BEAUTIFUL WORK .
Absolutely amazing transformation on that 41 year old vehicle. First time of watching, yes subscribe and liked. Firstly your Health and Safety skills are 100% which is not often found in other channels. Unless you tell anyone no one would ever guess the Sink Top was made from recycled Pallets, just Genius. At 75 years of age I feel I’m qualified to say “Be very Proud of Yourself “ Kind Regards Stewart in a village called Golcar near Huddersfield UK. 👍👏
Hasn't he done a lovely job?? His attention to detail and finishing is lovely. All the best, from a village called Banstead in Surrey!
Forgot all my plans when I saw your video was available. Dropped everything and watched another one of your great builds.
Vehicle repair and maintenance aside; your carpentry skills and solutions are amazing! As an adjacent vehicle conversion project you should check out some of the images on the web of cars that have been converted into stunning office desks, the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle conversions are my personal favourites, and you already have a friendly scrap yard!
Okay...so can we just talk about this guy’s mad EDITING skills, too? 🔥🔥🔥🏆
You're a creative genius 👏 I love watching you build these tiny home on wheels!!
He's dangerous 😂
Great job! Do not stay away so long next time. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Amen
Watching an artist share his work is absolutely refreshing on levels that everyone can enjoy. From your first to this one I can honestly say you're talent is above most. I'd be proud to own one of your works of art. Can't wait until the next.
You are one of my favorite YT people. Your skillset is beyond the beyonds! And you are such a focused and dedicated young man. I'm proud to be one of your subscribers. Can't wait to see you hit that million-sub-mark!
As a woman who knows nothing about vans,construction or tools I was still intrigued enough to click on the video. I expected to skip thru the video until the end but from the first 10 seconds I couldnt stop watching! Lol...What you did was amazing! And I like that you kept the old seat belts! Now, I'm a new subbie 💕
ME TOO!!! 🙆🏼♀️ (As you'll see my comment up top in a few minutes... 🤓👍🏼)
Same here ❤🎉
Me too😂
I can count on one hand the number of times I've actually commented on a video. It's not been a common practice for me, but for some reason I felt compelled to express how much joy these videos bring me! It's the therapy i never knew I needed....There's something oddly soothing about the sound of the machines, and the hammering and the sawing, etc. that I literally sometimes fall asleep to. It's counterintuitive, but somehow it makes perfect sense. I was so excited to turn on my computer and discover that a new video had been uploaded. Van conversions have become a new obsession for me, ever since I discovered that you could even do that in a van! Since that discovery, I have kind of immersed myself in that world via TH-cam....a path that eventually led me to this channel, which has become my absolute favorite. Watching a dwelling space be manifested from nothing, and transformed into a complete oasis is so satisfying, and even more than that, it's inspiring. The process is fascinating to witness. My absolute most favorite part of this build has to be the pieces of wood cut and fashioned to look like tiles, or bricks depending on how you look at it. That was so very creative, a sign of true artistry. And it is beautiful. On my own journey, I hope to create a reality in which i am able to acquire a van of my own to assist me in living my purpose. And once that reality is made manifest, I can't imagine there would be a better person to contact for the endeavor! Much gratitude to you for creating this channel.
I love his builds also, it is always relaxing to watch some one else work, with out getting in his way.
@@steveky7829 i feel the same way abt not getting in the way
These videos are beyond therapeutic. I've watched the growth and constant improvements from one project to the next. This man here is beyond gifted 🔥
I stumbled across this video about a month ago during my DIY video search (I love watching people build things lol) and I’ve been hooked since. I’m 1000% hooked on this channel now. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
You are one clever young man. Wow what a great camper. Proud of you. Watching from New Zealand. I'm 77 yrs old and have just finished painting the inside of my caravan a light grey. It was a horrible brown before. I 'm so pleased with it. I love all things campers and caravans.
We’d love to see your camper too!
Beautiful comment Heather!
Not only are your conversions sweet. Your film making skills are second to none!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Dude!! Plumbing, Carpentry, Electronics, Engineering,…how did you learn all that??? I am in awe of your skills! Thanks for sharing!
I watched another one of your builds and was MOVED. I found myself thinking about it for almost a year! Here I am again! You are quite talented/gifted! You seem to know stuff about electrical. Construction, design, what is your profession? Degree? Thanks ! Inspiring!!! Love the wood mosaic work you did on this van. I’ve never seen a table saw with a set up like that to bevel the edges!
Your show DualEx is definitely the best show on van & RV building! You should contact your local Middle & High Schools and start a program to share your knowledge & skills with the younger generation since you are also a good role model many kids need these days. I totally look forward to the next video release of yours.
That's a GREAT idea! He could do workshops on the weekends & charge decent money. ❤
Facts
I TOTALLY agree! What a great role model (in so many ways...) for youth! 🏆💞🎯
Yes!!!! Brilliant idea! The concept of "the apprentice" of old needs to come back, whether it's a builder, farrier, cobbler, butcher, this knowledge is valuable!
This was labor intensive!! You are a phenomenal, exceptionally gifted one man band!!
Love what you do bro. Changes the whole aspect of living off the grid.
Here I am again, totally IMPRESSED! Do you build for customers or just yourself? There is another gentleman who rebuilt from old barn in Italy and he also had unbelievable off the chart skills!
49 year old finishing Tradesman and camping enthusiast here.
Damn fine work. Subscribed in the 1st 20 minutes.
You survived Atlanta traffic. Good job. Traffic didn’t look too bad on that day.
Mid 60s gal from Norcal here loving your channel! I drove a 1969 Ford Econoline van from 76 to 1980 in high school! Thank you! 🙋🏼♀️
This video is INSANE. I've never seen anything like this! The way you put everything together from start to finish, the camera angles, music selection...my goodness I'l just stop there. I have to go catch up on your other content now. Keep up the great work man!
It is a privilege to watch somebody with solid planning, precision, and expertise. But to see somebody with these qualities in so many areas is just amazing. You are an amazing young man
I have been watching your videos for a total of two years now, and I am over the top amazed at your skills. I am 56 years old. My father was a master carpenter, who died at the age of 90 but I’m sure if he was alive he would enjoy watching your videos. I don’t know if your plans involve marriage or children but I know one thing whoever that lucky woman is and I do mean lucky, She should really cherish you as her husband not only because of your skill set but because you are a very kindhearted person. I am sure that there are more to come more van transformations, but the video that I am hoping to see is the video of your wedding and the video of how you transform an old house, a antique house into a luxury house with your own two hands. I know that one is definitely on the list. I am so excited and I can’t wait and I hope I’m around to see that day. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world with us. We really appreciate and love you to pieces.
That would be beautiful to see ❤💙
I couldn't agree more! 🤗😇
Totally agree! Young man you have a gift that a lot of younger folks couldn’t even phathom. God’s got something BIG for you and it’s truly going to blow your mind!
Agreed
He definitely deserves his own show on HGTV-CAR FLIPPER?
You have been incredibly blessed with the ability to do wonderful restorations. The ones that I have watched are VERY impressive. May God continue his blessings for you and your family. Love watching your work.
Young man you are an excellent carpenter!
Bro, I'm an ex cabinet maker and really dig how you're still generally doing things by hand the way I did before cnc machines and computers came around. Old school. Love your work and creativity. Keep doing you.
What's the difference between cabinetry and IKEA? A CNC mill
I was blown away with your creativity, skill, quality and the best buildout I have ever seen. With your positive attitude you have a great future ahead. You could be a design engineer for the motor home industry. Your own firm. Not just for motor homes but the small senior homes and veterans homes. Small spaces and you will hire more engineers to keep up with the business. Congratulations on your talent and work ethic. If I was younger I would love to sell your service and quality.👏👌😃
After seeing this build….If I ever am blessed with a RV I will be requesting services somehow someway. This man is impressive! I look forward to any future uploads!
Absolutely amazing. I am 72 years old and thoroughly enjoyed watching this build. I appreciate the way you have repurposed some things while upgrading other things to produce a van that reflects American pride in craftsmanship. Bravo young man. My respects to you.
"Congratulations on the great job you did! You gave that van a second chance and added a unique value and style to it. Excellent work!"
I’m a 21 year old woman who isn’t into cars or remodeling, but you did a phenomenal job in every aspect of the van, your craftsmanship, I learned & have my mind opened on how people make these things, and you are creative in every detail. Even the video is good, and I don’t know if you edit it or not but whoever did made it all come together. Well, now you have a new subscriber because my new obsession is watching random people build thing I have 0 interest in partaking it to see the end result. Kinda like when I was child & was obsessed with HGTV and would watch Fixer-Upper or a TV show about a couple trying to find their new home. Even I watch “How It’s Made” & I always say that was one of the best TV shows & taught me so much about how things are made lmao. Anywho, this is rant but just wanted to share how you gained a new subscriber who is probably the opposite of your target audience/the majority of viewers.❤️
Dude I watched on a guest account and couldn’t comment, I had to go to my main account to say YOU ARE A BAD ASS. The shit you do is amazing and I’m a first time viewer! Make a business out of this cause you’re good. Congrats brother!
& the edit at the end with the rear view… 👌🏽MUAHHH, A-1 dude youre dope AF
DualEx, you have done a fantastic job of reviving that old Chevy and improving the interior. My first van conversion was of a 73 Chevy and it did not come anywhere close to what you did, but it worked for my wife and I with our 2 1/2 year old daughter to go camping comfortably and safely. Love it and I thought that you might possibly raise the roof about 18” or more so that you could stand erect in the van, but know that entails a lot of extra work in a van over 40 years old. I look forward to your next project.
Masterful...the fact that you hand build everything from the cabinets to the sliding bed with attention to detail is incredible!!! thank you for sharing your craft I enjoy every minute of it
The fact that he took his time on extra projects shows his passion for building. Great job.
I am blown away by your skill, vision, talent and patience. What an incredible transformation!
Your creativity and attention to detail are amazing traits in a builder!
Glad you visited Atlanta!! This van is definitely an old school classic. The wood and Black decor is beautiful, textured, and chic. Your craftsmanship and expertise is phenomenal. 😮😮😍😍
I like the fact you're using junkyard stuff and reusing pieces from the van, this is awesome. I dig this van - it's a throwback to my childhood outside and a view forward on the inside. NICE.
Easily the best videography I’ve seen on a van build video! The build itself is also really amazing and creative!
Dude, you are amazing! Your workmanship is above and beyond normalcy. I would be so proud of the craftsmanship you put into this beautiful creation. It has your name and stamp all over it, inside and out. I will watch this video again.
this brudda can do everything, plumbing, electrical, painting, building, carpentry, backflips, welding, video making and editing, bro is THE super nigha
Your camera work has grown exponentially! Makes watching build videos more enjoyable and interactive fsfs!
When the world needed him most... he returned.
The camper avatar 😂💯🔥
I plan on converting a 10 foot box truck, from left hand drive to right hand drive with a pass through, bathroom and shelves and use it for delivery as a rural postal carrier. These videos are helping me with that.
You’re such a blessing to others! May your platform continue to grow!
Great job DualEx. You have mastered your skills even MORE! I don't expect your next plumbing job will leak. Don't even say that! You got it down smoothly now. That was a LOT of work you did on this van. I don't think the previous owner would even recognize it. Good for you!
got all giddy when I saw your video, your stuff is awesome my friend top notch thanks😊
I find your skill level and attention to detail amazing.
Young man!!! God has blessed you with a tremendous talent! I know your parents are very proud of you! I’m proud of you and I don’t even know you! I don’t typically watch these types of videos but my goodness! You are one amazing young man! I sincerely wish you every good thing that this world can ever offer you! Continue to do what you’re doing as it’s people like you that make this world a better place to live in. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift!💯🥰🥰
This deserves some kind it reward. Probably the best TH-cam video I’ve ever watched. Van looks unbelievable
This is ASMR for van builds. You do fantastic work! Love what you do!
Man you have such an incredible compliment of life skills that is just amazing! You’ve got carpentry, some plumbing, some electrical and you top it off with the audio and visual skills as well. This video is your proof to future employers of just how talented you are. I admire your persistence in following your dream for this chapter of your life. I think you have a fantastic future in front of you, and you have probably planned it out to the nth degree! The significant people in your life are proud of you.
Man, you do so many things so well!!! The video documenting and editing your flow of video and talking and explaining things. Great use of video recording, timing speed, and ASMR highlights.
You then outdid yourself with this one, Big Dawg! No words, just awe. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
The couch, the tiled ceiling... I was so happy when you repainted that dash. 😂😅
Keep doing what you do. You are the Inspiration, Man. 💪🏾🫡🙌🏾
I see the love for your art. There is nothing more than to be authentically you.
You're a GOAT in the making!! Your attention to detail....one can feel your passion men. Keep up the good works. I see this as a DualEX Corp. in the near future. Look forward to the full tour too.
I am still amazed at your skills I swear if I ever buy a she shed or rv or van you will be the one to remodel it you going make me go to the auction to find me a van just for me to park it in my big back yard to live in and give my daughters my home your work is a Gift from God❤
Lord, your work is amazing! I'm an old woman who enjoys what you do. A bit jealous, maybe, but enthralled, too. The fantasy of the freedom your builds give are great even for those of us living them vicariously.
Such amazing work! This guy is an artist, electrician, engineer, carpenter, designer…OMG!
The craftsmanship on this project was through the roof. Thank you for sharing with us. Congrats wonderful work!!
IMPRESSIVE ABILITIES!
I just found this channel today, (5/13/24) and I'm gobsmacked by this man's talent from conceptualization of design to crafting and construction in such a variety of metods.
❤ I will be watching his channel going through the past uploads hoping to learn from and about this man, the where and how he develop his skills🎉
25:08
Bro that futon idea I’m every way was perfect! I’m all about functionality and usability of space and you used every part of that futon to its fullest in that space and storage also! Props!!!
if it's so good how does he use the guest bed at the same time as the futon bed? he can't do it's not that good take it easy bum licker
I have just majored in electrical engineering and I've been into motorhome builds for quite some time. I find it great in the aspects of electrical power how it has evolved in this field. Before we had those clumsy car batteries, connecting into inverters and everything, with a difficult setup to couple with solar panels and stuff, now using those battery packs that can do everything is not only safer but better overall. It's great how you also do a separate fuse box and breakers, it's better for the system. Keep up with the good work, love your videos man
Hi 👋🏼 NEW FAN !!
I am in ABSOLUTE AWE of your talents !! I especially love the ceiling feature accent you made, as well as the rolling door around the electrical box and love how you converted that futon to fit into the space.
Being a single mother and the owner of a very old house that needs a ton of renovation, I’m just starting my woodworking journey myself… but ironically , I also own a Chevy G20 van that holds a ton of sentimental value for us… because it was our home away from home when the kids were little and growing up … and when we all grew it, it meant so much to my daughter (16) that she would not allow me to sell it so I gifted it to her … for now, she uses it as a hangout spot but has dreamed of getting it refinished to put it on the road when she gets older.
She also desires learn the skills needed to be able to assist her me with the projects around the house … so we both started our own learning journeys in 2023 … with me trying to absorb and learn what I can from various construction courses online and across TH-cam …. and with her enrolling in construction classes at her high school.
Although our initial goal is to renovate this house … our ultimate dream would be to have the talent and skill set to refinish our G20 van …. So we so incredibly happy have come across your video because it gives us so much inspiration… and I think if God could bless us even 1% of your talent, then we could make something pretty remarkable with our G20 🤗
Thank you for sharing your talents, look forward to watching more of your inspiring content !! ❤︎
Wow so glad to have been able to watch this episode, as I have enjoyed all the ones you have posted. If I were in your neck of the woods I would do all I can to encourage you to build out a van for us. Your craftsmanship, attention to detail, and design esthetic is beyond compare. Glad you continue to create and post.
