Thought I'd share what my build process looked like! This was over the course of about 1.5 years, mostly on weekends while working during the week. Finished it up about a year ago, still haven't taken any pics of the final product. Perhaps I'll make another post!

While I'm very happy with the outcome, I would NOT recommend doing what I did: Working in Home Depot parking lots with battery-operated tools, while using the vehicle as your primary. Only way I'd consider doing another build is if I had access to a garage with enough room to both fit the van and simultaneously construct cabinets and the like, while having another vehicle to drive and make Home Depot runs.
