That blog post on company's website Raybuck really upsets me. At first I believed what was written and it did distress me as I bought enough Upol Raptor paint to do the exterior and interior. Then I did some more research into MDI and found something very interesting. MDI is in everything...

Well, I have gutted the interior of my 2003 Chevy Express Van.  I need to do one more pass over with the degreaser and then I will be ready to paint.  But I am wondering if my plan might be a bit overkill.  So I am here to ask those who are more experienced in rust and mold/mildew prevention as...

The body is not grey.  It is a blue color.  The name is cool grey khaki and it is a Subaru color. Here are some pictures before I sprayed the black trim. I apologize that these pictures are sideways.  I am posting this from my phone sitting in a bar bemoaning how I messed up such a perfect...

I messed up the white raptor rooftop when I was painting the black trim surrounding the back doors of my Chevy Express with black Raptor aerosol cans.  Never again will I use those.  The overspray is so much more than using a paint gun!  Anyway, the overspray that settled on the white roof makes...

Oooh! Ooh!  Me!  Choose me!  I got a van here in Utah.  Are you planning in coming here?  I’ll build you a website in exchange for help on my van build!  I have a 2093 Chevy Express 2500 Access. Keightley ?

So I am wondering.  I have painted the outside of my 2003 Chevy Express with Upol Raptor paint.  It looks awesome by the way. My next paint project is the interior after I do some touch up of areas that I missed because of poor masking.  Case in point, check out this picture. I also need...

So I started a thread Target R-values and I am not receiving the response I was looking for.  So I thought I would tell you all the plan and see what advice I would get.  Here are some pictures of how I want my van to look like.  Yes... if you recognize this van then you know these photos are...

Spaceloft is less expensive than the cryogel Z. Spaceloft was specifically designed for insulating buildings and apparel Cryogel Z is designed for sub-ambient and cryogenic applications such as freezers and refrigerators. Incidentally, I just found a price for Spaceloft that is $7.63ea sqft...

I cannot find the answer to my question.  I just cannot believe it has not been asked before.  So can someone please direct me to the thread where it is answered? My question is this.  What is a good average target R-value for a van in which the owner will be living in both extremes of hot and...

sushidog stated "Silica Aerogel has an R-value of 10, but it is unusable as it dissolves in water - not good." I do not believe that is correct. I have been in correspondence with Airtight, a distribution company of various types of Aerogel blanket insulation products specifically Spaceloft...

Hello - I am just curious.  The black cargo mat in my Chevy express is still very good.  But I do hate the color.  So I am thinking about installing a cork floor over it.  Cork is not only a good insulator but also a sound deadener and I like the look.  I found this one cork flooring product...

I do believe that Dave Thevanman uses a fantastic vent on his van. :) Keightley

This is what I am thinking for my Chevy Express Van building.  I want to cover the entire top of my van with solar panesl.  I am thinking I can install them an on contractor roof rack.  About a year ago I ran across a youtube video (or was it a website... my memory is a bit fuzzy) that detailed...

No major off-roading for me. I like well groom dirt roads.

I would really have to be tall to make that work. :) Keightley

Nice... I was wondering if a vent could be installed under a solar panel. Which vent did you buy? I am thinking you don't need to worry about rain or snow on your vent. I once found a youtube video of a couple that installed their solar panels over the vent. I can't seem to find that video...

I work in the insurance industry in that I help locate and buy all sorts of strange insurance policies for the organization I work for. I also submit claims to these insurance companies. When you are talking how much you would get for a vehicle or any property for that matter, you want to...

Since I started this thread, I though I would not necessarily end it but update those who read the entire post. I ended up buying a 2003 Chevy Express 2500 with the Access Package. With the Access package I can go stealth if I want. Or open it up to enjoy my view and cool breezes when I want...

I am wondering the same thing. If I just install one vent on the roof and just solar panels, how many can I get? Also I have the access package. If you have never heard of it, it is where the side panels can open to allow access to the inside from the outside. I thought it might be a good...

So I want to plan an awesome sound system into my build but I am clueless when it comes to this kind of thing.  Come to think about it, I feel clueless about everything. LOL I know I need basic items like a head unit, sub woofer, speakers, and amplifier.  But other than that, I don't know. ...
