Slow and steady wins the race..

Howdy folks! I know.....it's been far too long since my last entry. I try to do an entry every week but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.

The paint is all done on the white van....the stripes are on, all accesories are back on, the chrome grille is on, the chrome exaust tip is on, she's had a wax job.....I'm just waiting for my friend's flare kit to arrive.

I've been working like a dog on the interior. It has been tons of work even though my back is feeling it.

My idea for this one was to go with carpet tiles and to do a checker board interior. I found my friend some carpet tiles at a good price on www.kijiji.ca as well as some speakers. I've been having some super long days working on this interior. Luckily I've had the CBC on the radio to keep me company, (although, for a guy who doesn't often listen to the news, I'm starting to think that the world is falling apart). You know it's tough times when you hear that Whitehorse can't afford to recycle and GM is ready to crash and burn...sigh....at least I still have custom vans.

Anyways, My back is sore from getting in and out of the van all day long and from installing each individual piece of carpet in this van and I'll tell you one thing, I 'aint getting paid enough for this one. I wonder what west coast customs or 'gas' would charge for an interior like this? I'd guess something in the range of $3000 or more, probably more. For the most part it's enjoyable but I really can't wait to get this done so that I can hand it back over to the owner and regain my life.

I even made a video to show you guys the interior but when I played it back just now I realized that there wasn't enough light and that you can't really see anything so for now, you will all have to settle for pictures.....I'll try to do a video tomorrow.

More pics to come and I promise to update more often.

Tah tah for now.

Keep on Truckn'!!

:)

PS: Ok, so here is the video......I think it's too dark though.....oops!
