    Bro. Backup cams on those vans are essential. I hate backing up my company transit connect.
    Your van is gonna be sick when it's finished!

    Really interesting process. Good preparation will payoff tenfold. You're off to a great start and doing things right from the sheetmetal in. Looks cold in the land of 10K lakes, but summer's on it's way! 😉 Thanks for sharing, will watch for more. 👍

    Having done it before not to much I learned but was fun to watch still.
    One thing I want to note, in case you did not do it, but I think you must have since you did everything else.
    Remember to paint the edges of the hole you made for the backup camera, those grommets wont completely stop the water from getting to the metal edges of the hole causing rust, don't ask me how I know! :))

    Excellent and informative, showing all the steps. Does the back-up camera work whenever you turn it on? Can you use it even if driving forward?

    Smart to wire brush that paint over rust attitude is wrong
