Framing

I used 80/20 extruded t-slot aluminum to frame out the van. It ended up being a joy to work with: strong, light, easy to cut, and the t-slot allows for change.

The process I followed was influenced by Orton Transit:

1) build everything out of 80/20

2) anchor the 80/20 structure to the floor, using wood as a thermal break

3) mount panels as veneers to create closed cabinetry.

The 80/20 floor is covered in its own post: Floor #2.
