Started to fab up the electrics in my van

I have had the bed section partition walls made for weeks now. But I had a CD player/radio that I wanted to use in the van. I shaped up a board with a form fitting hole to accept the radio and cut a matching hole in the front partition to hold the radio- obviously I needed 110 volts to run it . I am planning on making a section  of extension cord that will attach to the beaker box and then this will feed the receptacles in the van. Can't install this stuff until I get the walls done.

Now on to installing the plywood on the interior walls.

Okay finally snapped  a few pix to show the ongoing work. I used cardboard to make templates for the rear corner walls and also the beginnings of an overhead console.…

As if I don't have enough projects going ,I recently got a 1995 Dodge B1500 cargo van. It is a V-6 which is good for me. Runs and drives super.
