Floor attempt #1 (osb)
After building template's for the wheel wells and then covering my osb with grey deck paint to keep moisture out I bolted it to the floor and tested it with the 600rr again...
I didnt like the feel of the look and feel of the wood floor... even after bolting it still felt flexy and just didnt feel right... so I took it out and decided to just build the wall and to figure the floor out later.
I went with two pieces of OSB for the wall for stability and well osb was cheap 7 bucks a 4x8... so I then covered them a;so in grey deck paint to keep moisture out and put two pieces stacked then threw my templates on it and after climbing in and out quite a few times (to ensure I had the measurements right) I whipped out the jigsaw and went to work.
First wall fit test.
I was more than pleased with the results but I didn't like just a bland grey wall so... seeing as though I have had neon orange and black bikes for a while I went with an orange and black hazard/danger theme on the wall...
HAZARD WALL! (now with window hole!)
Headed back to spend another weekend at the parking deck...
Ceiling was fully insulated and now is up (out of 1/4 masonite that was also painted with the same deck paint... I also sanded/scotch padded then spray painted the wheel wells and pillars black then clear coated with satin clear.
Plexiglass window with hinge...
Added weather stripping (and sealed the wall so that no fumes can get to the rv side/front of the van.
My buddy Josh and I discussing walls and tie down points.
Garage flooring idea (I thought about rhinoliner and many others but this is without a doubt the best solution... it insulates, its comfy, doesnt stain, and it was only 75 bucks shipped on ebay (obviously the floor needed templating and cutting)... (in the background is my friend Josh and I brainstorming my futon build... he kicks so much ass for helping me with this project and providing some brains to the operation.
