Ceiling and Lights

We wanted to preserve the headroom in the van so we chose a 1/4" baltic birch plywood bolted directly to the ceiling ribs of the van. The 1/4" plywood bent to the shape of the roof. We used rivnuts to attach the panels. This was easier said than done. I had to create a cardboard template and 2 scrap wood panel templates before cutting the plywood. It then took about 5 tries to get them to fit. 

Time 14 hours over a weeks time.


Parts:

• 2 sheets of 1/4" baltic birch plywood
• 10-24 rivnuts
• rivnut tool (amazon and harbor freight)
